Overview

An Angular module for simple desktop file and folder drag and drop. This library does not need rxjs-compat.

For previous Angular support please use older versions.

This library relies on HTML 5 File API thus IE is not supported

Usage

Importing The 'ngx-file-drop' Module

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { NgxFileDropModule } from 'ngx-file-drop';


@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpClientModule,
    NgxFileDropModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Enabling File Drag

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgxFileDropEntry, FileSystemFileEntry, FileSystemDirectoryEntry } from 'ngx-file-drop';

@Component({
  selector: 'demo-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {

  public files: NgxFileDropEntry[] = [];

  public dropped(files: NgxFileDropEntry[]) {
    this.files = files;
    for (const droppedFile of files) {

      // Is it a file?
      if (droppedFile.fileEntry.isFile) {
        const fileEntry = droppedFile.fileEntry as FileSystemFileEntry;
        fileEntry.file((file: File) => {

          // Here you can access the real file
          console.log(droppedFile.relativePath, file);

          /**
          // You could upload it like this:
          const formData = new FormData()
          formData.append('logo', file, relativePath)

          // Headers
          const headers = new HttpHeaders({
            'security-token': 'mytoken'
          })

          this.http.post('https://mybackend.com/api/upload/sanitize-and-save-logo', formData, { headers: headers, responseType: 'blob' })
          .subscribe(data => {
            // Sanitized logo returned from backend
          })
          **/

        });
      } else {
        // It was a directory (empty directories are added, otherwise only files)
        const fileEntry = droppedFile.fileEntry as FileSystemDirectoryEntry;
        console.log(droppedFile.relativePath, fileEntry);
      }
    }
  }

  public fileOver(event){
    console.log(event);
  }

  public fileLeave(event){
    console.log(event);
  }
}
