Is it possible to pass the form data along with image file to web api from angular 6 application.

app.component.ts

onSelectFile(event) {
  if (event.target.files && event.target.files[0]) {
    this.imageToUpload = event.target.files[0];
    const reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onload = e => this.selectedImage = reader.result.toString();
    this.fileName = event.target.files[0].name;
    reader.readAsDataURL(this.imageToUpload);
  }

Answer 1

You can make use of FormData over here

CreateNewComitteeMember(mFormData,mImage){
  const HttpUploadOptions = {
    headers: new HttpHeaders({ "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data"})
  }
  const formData = new FormData();
  formData.append('data', mFormData);
  formData.append('image', mImage);
  return this.httpClient.post(url, formData, HttpUploadOptions)
}
