@ngx-file-upload/core v10.0.0-alpha-1

ngx file upload / core

Angular 16 file upload core files for asynchronous file upload. This package does not contain any UI components in order to stay as small as possible and to guarantee the freedom to design the entire surface yourself without bringing the overhead of styles, images and fonts that are not required.

This library contains

• Storage to store all uploads and used them app wide or only in component.
• A queue to limit the number of active uploads and upload more later.
• Validation
• ansychronous file uploads with live progress update.

• angular@16 - 8.x.x
• angular@15 - 7.x.x
• angular@14 - 6.x.x
• angular@13 - 5.x.x
• angular@12 - 4.x.x

Version 4

• supports now upload of multiple files per request
• fixed some performance issues

breaking changes

• NgxFileUploadFactory returns now only one request with all filles which are passed
• renamed NgxFileUpload to NgxFileUploadRequest
• NgxFileUpload.data.name now returns an array of file names which are added to the request
• added NgxFileUpload.data.files: INgxFileUploadFile[]
