I was trying to upload an image using Angular to a google storage bucket. And everything is working fine with Postman. But I’m stuck with angular typescript. Can anyone suggest to me a way to do this?
.html file
<input type="file" accept="image/png, image/jpeg" class="form-control upload-btn" formControlName="imageUpload" placeholder="Upload Images" (change)="uploadImage($event)" required>
.ts file
uploadImage(event: any) { if (event.target.files && event.target.files[0]) { const uploadImage=event.target.files[0]; const fileObject = { userId: this.userId, bucketName: 'Test123', image: uploadImage }; this.userService.uploadImage(fileObject).subscribe(data=>{ },err=>{ console.log("error occured") } ) }
}
.service file
uploadImage(fileObject: any){ return this.http.post('http://localhost:1337' + 'upload-image' , fileObject);
}
No any error occurs on the backend side. It worked fine with Postman. Im not sure about the .ts file.

As suggested by @PrasenjeetSymon using FormData will help to upload images in Angular.
Here is the similar thread which demonstrate how to use FormData
You can use the tag from HTML:
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" (change)="onFileChanged($event)" />and in the component:
public files: any[]; contructor() { this.files = []; } onFileChanged(event: any) { this.files = event.target.files; } onUpload() { const formData = new FormData(); for (const file of this.files) { formData.append(name, file, file.name); } this.http.post('url', formData).subscribe(x => ....); }
