So I have managed to use a custom directive to upload images to my server, through Angular.js. I have also managed to implement the camera functionality from Cordova. Now I am trying to connect the two, but when sending images to the server, they get stored as null. I believe the problem lies in the fact that I was using an input field to get the image, and it was getting the full Object, and now I am getting just the image path after I take the picture and send it. My problem is, I don't really understand how I could convert the path to an Object, IF that is the problem?
index.html
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form">
<button class="picButton" ng-click="getPhoto()" class="button button-block button-primary">Take Photo</button>
<img ng-src="{{lastPhoto}}" style="max-width: 100%">
...
</form>
controllers.js
$scope.getPhoto = function() {
Camera.getPicture().then(function(imageURI) {
console.log(imageURI);
$scope.lastPhoto = imageURI;
$scope.upload(); <-- call to upload the pic
},
function(err) {
console.err(err);
}, {
quality: 75,
targetWidth: 320,
targetHeight: 320,
saveToPhotoAlbum: false
});
};
$scope.upload = function() {
var url = '';
var fd = new FormData();
//previously I had this
//angular.forEach($scope.files, function(file){
//fd.append('image',file)
//});
fd.append('image', $scope.lastPhoto);
$http.post(url, fd, {
transformRequest:angular.identity,
headers:{'Content-Type':undefined
}
})
.success(function(data, status, headers){
$scope.imageURL = data.resource_uri; //set it to the response we get
})
.error(function(data, status, headers){
})
}
When printing $scope.lastPhoto I get the image path: file:///var/mobile/Applications/../tmp/filename.jpg
EDIT
Request Headers:
------WebKitFormBoundaryEzXidt71U741Mc45
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="image"
file:///var/mobile/Applications/C65C8030-33BF-4BBB-B2BB-7ECEC86E87A7/tmp/cdv_photo_015.jpg
------WebKitFormBoundaryEzXidt71U741Mc45--
Should this causing the problem? Since I can see I am sending the path but not the image itself..
Before changing, I was using a custom directive, and was using $scope.files to append to my request in the upload function:
<input type="file" file-input="files" multiple onchange="angular.element(this).scope().filesChanged(this);upload();">
<button ng-click="upload()">Upload</button>
