Upload multiple files in angular

I've a situation where I've a form in which I've a row where I've two text fields entries and I've to upload a file for that row and this kind of rows can be 'N' and then there is a master files that can be entered for whole form while these are some part of the form and I've to submit all these files at once on clicking a save button.

I'm kind of stuck with ng-upload it needs an api call, and I really can't have more than one api call for this form. The sample html code is below :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>

  <form editable-form name="xyzForm" ng-submit="create(model)">
    <label>Tags: </label><input class="col-xs-12 col-md-12" ng-model="model.tags" type="text" name="Tags">
    <label>Notes: </label> <input class="col-xs-12 col-md-11" ng-model="model.notes" type="text" name="notes">
    <table class=" col-xs-3 col-md-11 table" border="1px solid red;">
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>Product</th>
          <th>Manufacturer</th>
          <th>Location</th>
          <th>Specification</th>
          <th></th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr ng-repeat="itemRow in item.singleItem">
          <td><input type="text" class="xdTextBox" name="itemRow.name" ng-model="model.itemRow[$index].name" /></td>
          <td><input type="text" class="xdTextBox" name="itemRow.manufacturer" ng-model="model.itemRow[$index].manufacturer" /></td>
          <td><input type="text" class="xdTextBox" name="itemRow.location" ng-model="model.itemRow[$index].location" /></td>
          <td><i class="pull-left glyphicon glyphicon-upload"><input type="file" name="itemRow.doc" ng-model="model.itemRow[$index].doc" multiple=false></i></td>
          <td><i class="pull-left glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></i></td>
        </tr>

      </tbody>
      </span>
    </table>

    <label>Product Spec: </label><input type="file" ng-model="prefabdoc" multiple="true" ngf-maxsize="15000000" />
  </form>

</body>

How can I limit the size of attachment file upload in angular?

You can restrict the maximum allowed file size (in bytes) by using the maxFileSize property. If the selected file exceeds the maximum size, an error message will be displayed.

What is FormData in angular?

The FormData. getAll() method provides an array of all the values associated with a specific key. The FormData.has() methods provides a boolean indicating whether a FormData instance contains a specific key. The FormData. keys() method provides an iterator for going through all the keys contained in the form instance.

Here is file value binding directive example ..

http://plnkr.co/edit/B13t84j5IPzINMh1F862?p=preview

Js code is:

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.name = 'World';
  $scope.files = []; 
  $scope.upload=function(){
    alert($scope.files.length+" files selected ... Write your Upload Code"); 

  };
});


app.directive('ngFileModel', ['$parse', function ($parse) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
            var model = $parse(attrs.ngFileModel);
            var isMultiple = attrs.multiple;
            var modelSetter = model.assign;
            element.bind('change', function () {
                var values = [];
                angular.forEach(element[0].files, function (item) {
                    var value = {
                       // File Name 
                        name: item.name,
                        //File Size 
                        size: item.size,
                        //File URL to view 
                        url: URL.createObjectURL(item),
                        // File Input Value 
                        _file: item
                    };
                    values.push(value);
                });
                scope.$apply(function () {
                    if (isMultiple) {
                        modelSetter(scope, values);
                    } else {
                        modelSetter(scope, values[0]);
                    }
                });
            });
        }
    };
}]);

Html Code is:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>AngularJS Plunker</title>
    <script>document.write('<base href="' + document.location + '" />');</script>
    <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script data-semver="1.4.3" src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.4.3/angular.js" 
        data-require="[email protected]"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
  </head>

  <body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
    <p>Hello {{name}}!</p>
    <input type="file" ng-file-model="files" multiple />
    <button type="button" ng-click="upload()">Upload</button>

    <p ng-repeat="file in files">

    </p>
  </body>

If you don't care about browsers less than IE 9. Then you can follow this post and construct a FormData object in your ng-submit event. This will create a form/multipart and might not be what your looking for but it does the trick.

from saltuk's answer above there is a small change for the code to work

    var modelSetter = model.assign;
        element.bind('change', function () {
            var values = [];
            angular.forEach(element[0].files, function (item) {
                var value = {...
                }
            }
        }

the array var should be defined above before forEach function

    var modelSetter = model.assign;
    element.bind('change', function () {
        var values = [];
        angular.forEach(element[0].files, function (item) {
            var value = {...
            }
        }
    }
