I'm trying to implement a multi-file upload feature and came across this http://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/angularjs.html.
In my form, I am using ng-switch to load in different parts of the form as part of a form wizard. The second part of the form requires the user to upload pictures and this is where things start to break for me. I understand why it's breaking -- ng-switch, with many other directives, creates a new scope. The work around is to use objects as opposed to "writing" directly to the scope -- $scope.booking.amount as opposed to $scope.amount
So how do I get jquery-file-upload, or any other 3rd party library for that matter, to "bind" correctly to my object and prevent these scope issues?
Relevant parts of jquery-file-upload:
- https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/blob/master/js/app.js
- https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/blob/master/js/jquery.fileupload-angular.js
Relevant parts of my code:
View
<div data-ng-switch="getCurrentStep()" data-ng-animate="'slide'">
<div data-ng-switch-when="one">
<!-- First part of form -->
<textarea data-ng-model="viewing.remarks" type="text" rows="4" cols="10" placeholder="A short description of the property"></textarea>
</div>
<div data-ng-switch-when="two">
<!-- Second part of form -->
<input type="file" name="files[]" multiple data-ng-disabled="disabled">
<ul class="inline-list">
<li data-ng-repeat="file in queue" data-ng-switch data-on="!!file.thumbnailUrl">
<div class="preview" data-ng-switch-when="true">
<a data-ng-href="{{file.url}}" title="{{file.name}}" download="{{file.name}}" data-gallery>
<img data-ng-src="{{file.thumbnailUrl}}" alt="">
</a>
<a href="" class="text-center" data-ng-click="file.$cancel()" data-ng-hide="!file.$cancel">Cancel</a>
</div>
<div class="preview" data-ng-switch-default data-file-upload-preview="file"></div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Controller
The main thing is I have a viewing object which is called from a service.
$scope.viewing = new Viewing()
So in the current code context, how do I get $scope.queue, which is from jquery-file-upload, talking to my $scope.viewing object?
