Currently I am using socket.io
to upload the video with progress bar. Here is the tutorial
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/how-to-create-a-resumable-video-uploade-in-node-js/
but Internet Explorer does not support this method, but I really need upload the video in all browsers.
I checked the express documentation. Since express is based on node-formidable
(which has a progress event), I think there is way to build a upload system with progress bar, right? I just don't know how!
Is node-formidable IE enabled right?
Any way is it possible to build a file upload system in pure espress.js with progress bar?
It can be done with the xhr.upload progress event. It is supported from html5.
For example:
https://github.com/zeMirco/express-upload-progress
In php the upload information can be attached to the session, so it works with html4, maybe there is a nodejs extension for that too, I'll google it.
According to this:
How to do upload with express in node.js
there is a progress event in express by file upload, so you can set a variable in the session with the actual progress data, and read it with ajax from client side.
Here is the jsfiddle using angular js and ng-file-upload directive.
The jsfiddle works for images and files but to upload the videos you will have change the POST url to your server.
//inject angular file upload directives and services.
var app = angular.module('fileUpload', ['ngFileUpload']);
app.controller('MyCtrl', ['$scope', 'Upload', '$timeout', function($scope, Upload, $timeout) {
$scope.uploadFiles = function(file, errFiles) {
$scope.f = file;
$scope.errFile = errFiles && errFiles[0];
if (file) {
file.upload = Upload.upload({
url: 'https://angular-file-upload-cors-srv.appspot.com/upload',
data: {
file: file
}
});
file.upload.then(function(response) {
$timeout(function() {
file.result = response.data;
});
}, function(response) {
if (response.status > 0)
$scope.errorMsg = response.status + ': ' + response.data;
}, function(evt) {
file.progress = Math.min(100, parseInt(100.0 *
evt.loaded / evt.total));
});
}
}
}]);
