Material Design Angular file upload component
Are you looking for file upload component for your angular app if yes then in this post I am going to share a simple & configurable file upload component for use with Angular Material.
- Install package from npm (
npm i mat-file-upload
). - Add
MatFileUploadModule
to your module’s imports, like so:
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
imports: [
...
MatFileUploadModule,
...
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}
- Add the element to your template, like so:
Basic:
<mat-file-upload></mat-file-upload>
Advanced:
<mat-file-upload
[labelText]="'Select a file (or multiple) to upload:'"
[selectButtonText]="'Choose File(s)'"
[uploadButtonText]="'Submit'"
[allowMultipleFiles]="true"
[showUploadButton]="true"
[customSvgIcon]="'close_custom'"
[acceptedTypes]="'.png, .jpg, .jpeg'"
(uploadClicked)="onUploadClicked($event)"
(selectedFilesChanged)="onSelectedFilesChanged($event)"
>
</mat-file-upload>
