Install

For Angular v14+ — install ngx-uploadcare-widget v4.x

npm install ngx-uploadcare-widget@4.x uploadcare-widget

For Angular v12+ — install ngx-uploadcare-widget v3.x

npm install ngx-uploadcare-widget@3.x uploadcare-widget

For Angular from v9 to v11 — install ngx-uploadcare-widget v2.x

npm install ngx-uploadcare-widget@2.x uploadcare-widget

For Angular v8 and lower — install ngx-uploadcare-widget v1.x

npm install ngx-uploadcare-widget@1.x uploadcare-widget

Usage

The basic wrapper usage scenario can be described in four steps.

Step 1. Import the module

import { UcWidgetModule } from 'ngx-uploadcare-widget';

Step 2. Import the module to yours

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ...,
    UcWidgetModule,
  ],
  ...
})
...

Step 3. Use the component in your template

<!-- with default markup -->
<ngx-uploadcare-widget
  public-key="YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
  [images-only]="true">
</ngx-uploadcare-widget>

<!-- without any markup -->
<ngx-uploadcare-widget-custom
  public-key="YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY"
  [images-only]="true">
</ngx-uploadcare-widget-custom>

Step 4. Have fun with the widget events

The component currently supports three widget events:

• on-change
• on-upload-complete
• on-progress

Here is how you can handle those three,

<ngx-uploadcare-widget
  public-key="demopublickey"
  [images-only]="true"
  (on-upload-complete)="yourOnUploadHandler($event)"
  (on-change)="yourOnChangeHandler($event)"
  (on-progress)="yourOnProgressHandler($event)">
</ngx-uploadcare-widget>

You can learn more about this widget events in our docs.

Events usage example:

  onUpload(info) {
    console.log('fired Event "onUpload"');
    console.log(info);
  }

  onProgress(progress) {
    console.log('fired Event "onProgress with data:"');
    console.log(progress);
  }

  onChange(file) {
    if(!file) {
      return;
    }
    console.log('fired Event "onChange"');
  // input file parameter depends on "multiple-files" widget attribute
    if(this.multipleFiles) {
  //  file contains 2 methods:
  //  .promise() - returns the general promise for all uploaded files which resolves into an uploaded file group info
  //  .files() - returns an array of promises: one per each uploaded file. Each promise resolves into an uploaded file info
      console.log(file);
      if(file.promise) {
        file.promise().then((groupInfo) => {
          console.log('resolved general promise from "onChange" with data:');
          console.log(groupInfo);
        });
      }
      if(file.files) {
        file.files().forEach((promise) => {
          promise.then((fileInfo) => {
            console.log('resolves file promise with file info:');
            console.log(fileInfo);
          });
        });
      } else {
  // file contains uploaded file info
        console.log(file);
      }
    }
  }

Methods

The components provides following public methods:

• clearUploads() - Removes all current uploads from the widget. You can use the method to reset a form even if a user has already uploaded some files.
• reset(clearUploads = false) - Resets the widget, You can also remove all the current uploads if clearUploads is set to true
• openDialog() - Opens the widget dialog with current configuration.
• reject() - Closes the dialog opened with openDialog() method only and discards any file selection.

All methods are accessible from a parent component via the @ViewChild() approach.

Localization

It is possible that your locale is not available in the widget yet. If that’s the case, contributing your locale might be a good idea. This can be done by forking the main repository and adding a localization file here.

The quick way of implementing your locale would be overriding any of the existing ones via the UPLOADCARE_LOCALE_TRANSLATIONS property.
