allow users to get the status text of the reponse when uploading

[vincentrussell]

I need this to be able to display error messages when the upload fails

[danialfarid]

angular $http success and error doesn't return statusText in the parameters and this plugin should follow the same pattern.

"On failure, the promise is resolved with the http response object, without the resource property."

$resource does the smart thing and just gives back the entire http response object. I suspect that since $resource probably came after $http, that that is the intended direction of the authors. I'd be curious to find out the thought pattern on that.

In fact, it looks like this has annoyed a lot of other people as well.

Please choose to be on the right side of history on this issue. 😄

I didn't realize that I could use catch instead of error with ng-file-upload. That actually services my use case just fine.

Thanks,

You can use then, catch if you need the whole response object.
