Directives

<div>
  <label class="file-drop" uploadxDrop>
    <input
      type="file"
      [uploadx]="options"

    />
  </label>
</div>

uploadx

File input directive

• [uploadx]: UploadxOptions

  Set directive options

• [uploadxAction]: UploadxControlEvent

  Control the uploads

• (uploadxState): ($event: <Observable>UploadState)=> void

uploadxDrop

File drop directive. Activates the .uploadx-drop-active class on DnD operations.

UploadxService

• init(options?: UploadxOptions): Observable<UploadState>

  Initializes service. Returns Observable that emits a new value on progress or status changes

  //  @example:
  uploadxOptions: UploadxOptions = {
    concurrency: 4,
    endpoint: `${environment.api}/upload`,
    token:  () => localStorage.getItem('access_token'),
  };
  ngOnInit() {
    this.uploadService.init(this.uploadxOptions)
      .subscribe((item: UploadState) => {
        console.log(item);
        //...
      }
  }

• connect(options?: UploadxOptions): Observable<Uploader[]>

  Initializes service. Returns Observable that emits the current queue

  // @example:
  @Component({
    template: `
      <input type="file" uploadx">
      <div *ngFor="let item of uploads$ | async">{{item.name}}</div>
    `,
    changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
  })
  export class UploadsComponent {
    uploads$: Observable<Uploader[]>;
    options: UploadxOptions = {
      endpoint: `${environment.api}/upload?uploadType=uploadx`,
      token:  () => localStorage.getItem('access_token'),
    }
    constructor(private uploadService: UploadxService) {
      this.uploads$ = this.uploadService.connect(this.options);
    }

• disconnect(): void

  Terminate all uploads and clears the queue

• handleFile(file: File, options?: UploadxOptions): void

  Create Uploader for the file and add to the queue

• handleFileList(fileList: FileList, options?: UploadxOptions): void

  Add files to the upload queue

• control(event: UploadxControlEvent): void

  Uploads control

  // @example:
  pause(uploadId: string) {
    this.uploadService.control({ action: 'pause', uploadId });
  }
  setToken(token: string) {
    this.uploadService.control({ token });
  }

• queue: Uploader[]

  Uploaders array

• events: Observable<UploadState>
