Here is the complete solution
html code,
create the text anf file upload fields as shown below
<div class="form-group">
<div>
<label for="usr">User Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="usr" ng-model="model.username">
</div>
<div>
<label for="pwd">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="pwd" ng-model="model.password">
</div><hr>
<div>
<div class="col-lg-6">
<input type="file" file-model="model.somefile"/>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<label for="dob">Dob:</label>
<input type="date" id="dob" ng-model="model.dob">
</div>
<div>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email"id="email" ng-model="model.email">
</div>
<button type="submit" ng-click="saveData(model)" >Submit</button>
directive code
create a filemodel directive to parse file
.directive('fileModel', ['$parse', function ($parse) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
var model = $parse(attrs.fileModel);
var modelSetter = model.assign;
element.bind('change', function(){
scope.$apply(function(){
modelSetter(scope, element[0].files[0]);
});
});
}
};}]);
Service code
append the file and fields to form data and do $http.post as shown below remember to keep 'Content-Type': undefined
.service('fileUploadService', ['$http', function ($http) {
this.uploadFileToUrl = function(file, username, password, dob, email, uploadUrl){
var myFormData = new FormData();
myFormData.append('file', file);
myFormData.append('username', username);
myFormData.append('password', password);
myFormData.append('dob', dob);
myFormData.append('email', email);
$http.post(uploadUrl, myFormData, {
transformRequest: angular.identity,
headers: {'Content-Type': undefined}
})
.success(function(){
})
.error(function(){
});
}
}]);
In controller
Now in controller call the service by sending required data to be appended in parameters,
$scope.saveData = function(model){
var file = model.myFile;
var uploadUrl = "/api/createUsers";
fileUpload.uploadFileToUrl(file, model.username, model.password, model.dob, model.email, uploadUrl);
};
