Angular 8 File Upload or Image Upload with Preview and Progress Report

Create template

Setp 1: app.component.html

    

        

            
Choose File
            
            

                
            
            

                Upload progress: {{ fileUploadProgress }}
            
            

                                 
            
 
            

                {{uploadedFilePath}}
            
             
            

                Submit
            
        
    

Configure the HttpClientModule

step 2: src/app/app.module.ts

import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';

Add HttpClientModule to imports array under @NgModule

imports: [
    HttpClientModule
]

app.component.ts

fileData: File = null;
previewUrl:any = null;
fileUploadProgress: string = null;
uploadedFilePath: string = null;
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
 
fileProgress(fileInput: any) {
      this.fileData = fileInput.target.files[0];
      this.preview();
}
 
preview() {
    // Show preview 
    var mimeType = this.fileData.type;
    if (mimeType.match(/image\/*/) == null) {
      return;
    }
 
    var reader = new FileReader();      
    reader.readAsDataURL(this.fileData); 
    reader.onload = (_event) => { 
      this.previewUrl = reader.result; 
    }
}
 
onSubmit() {
    const formData = new FormData();
      formData.append('file', this.fileData);
      this.http.post('url/to/your/api', formData)
        .subscribe(res => {
          console.log(res);
          this.uploadedFilePath = res.data.filePath;
          alert('SUCCESS !!');
        })
}

Update our app.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient, HttpEventType } from '@angular/common/http';
 
@Component({
  selector: 'app-image-upload-with-preview',
  templateUrl: './image-upload-with-preview.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./image-upload-with-preview.component.css']
})
 
export class ImageUploadWithPreviewComponent implements OnInit {
 
  fileData: File = null;
  previewUrl:any = null;
  fileUploadProgress: string = null;
  uploadedFilePath: string = null;
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
   
  ngOnInit() {
  }
   
  fileProgress(fileInput: any) {
      this.fileData = fileInput.target.files[0];
      this.preview();
  }
 
  preview() {
    // Show preview 
    var mimeType = this.fileData.type;
    if (mimeType.match(/image\/*/) == null) {
      return;
    }
 
    var reader = new FileReader();      
    reader.readAsDataURL(this.fileData); 
    reader.onload = (_event) => { 
      this.previewUrl = reader.result; 
    }
  }
   
  onSubmit() {
      const formData = new FormData();
      formData.append('file', this.fileData);
      this.http.post('url/to/your/api', formData)
        .subscribe(res => {
          console.log(res);
          this.uploadedFilePath = res.data.filePath;
          alert('SUCCESS !!');
        }) 
  }
}

app.component.ts file and put the below import

import { HttpClient, HttpEventType } from '@angular/common/http';

add reportProgress to true and set the observe to events in the config

onSubmit() {
    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('files', this.fileData);
     
    this.fileUploadProgress = '0%';
 
    this.http.post('https://us-central1-tutorial-e6ea7.cloudfunctions.net/fileUpload', formData, {
      reportProgress: true,
      observe: 'events'   
    })
    .subscribe(events => {
      if(events.type === HttpEventType.UploadProgress) {
        this.fileUploadProgress = Math.round(events.loaded / events.total * 100) + '%';
        console.log(this.fileUploadProgress);
      } else if(events.type === HttpEventType.Response) {
        this.fileUploadProgress = '';
        console.log(events.body);          
        alert('SUCCESS !!');
      }
         
    }) 
}
