Invoking function before selecting files with angular-file-upload

Question

I am using angular-file-upload to upload files to the server. angular-file-upload

The problem is related to the ng-file-select part:

<button ng-file-select="test1($files)" style="overflow: hidden;" class="btn btn-primary" tooltip="Test">

Test

I would like to invoke some function for showing modal popup window before showing a popup window for selecting files.

It means, I would like to invoke some function let's say: preTest() before selecting emails.

Do you have any ideas? Cheers

Ok,

I found a very nice way how we can do some action before showing selecting dialog popup window.

We can use two elements: 1. One hidden, which I showed in my previous post 2. The second one with eg ng-click function where we do what we need to do and then we use:

angular.element('selector').trigger('click');
