Saving file with angular-file-upload

Question

I use angular-file-upload in my application in order to save a file.

I have the next code:

$scope.submitForm = function(valid, commit, file) {
    file.upload = Upload.upload({
        url: '/tmp',
        data: {file: file, username: $scope.username},
    });
    file.upload.then(function (response) {
        console.log(response);
    }, function (response) {
        console.log(response);
    }, function(env){
        console.log(env);
    })

The application is running on my machine, and I want that the file will save on the /tmp folder. The problem is that when I write tmp , it search the address /tmp , and not the location /tmp . How can I save the file without call to API?

Answer 1

You can't save files on server from client side without going though some kind of backend.

Angular file uploader sends a HTTP request to "url", in this case it tries to send to /tmp which most likely don't point to anything

Answer 2

In this case the client is trying to find that url in the server, which is not your case, you may need to develop a backend part too.

For testing purposes, remember you can use $httpbackend to fake HTTP backend implementation
