A sample upload function for imageHandler

   upload: (file) => {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {

      if (file.type === 'image/jpeg' || file.type === 'image/png' || file.type === 'image/jpg') { // File types supported for image
        if (file.size < 1000000) { // Customize file size as per requirement
        
        // Sample API Call
          const uploadData = new FormData();
          uploadData.append('file', file, file.name);

          return this.http.post('YOUR API URL', uploadData).toPromise()
            .then(result => {
                resolve(result.message.url); // RETURN IMAGE URL from response
            })
            .catch(error => {
              reject('Upload failed'); 
              // Handle error control
              console.error('Error:', error);
            });
        } else {
          reject('Size too large');
         // Handle Image size large logic 
        }
      } else {
        reject('Unsupported type');
       // Handle Unsupported type logic
      }
    });
  }

Angular Universal

• As of now ngx-quill-upload isn't optimized for Server side rendering. Consider adding a plaform-browser check on your own if you plan to use SSR.

ngx-quill-upload uses Quill.register for overwriting an existing module for Image and Video handler, QuillJS logs a warning. To supress those expected warnings you can turn them off by passing suppressGlobalRegisterWarning: true in ngx-quill config. Read more here
