Angular PrimeNG FileUpload DragDrop

Angular PrimeNG is an open-source framework with a rich set of native Angular UI components that are used for great styling and this framework is used to make responsive websites with very much ease. In this article, we will see how to use the FileUpload DragDrop in Angular PrimeNG.

Angular PrimeNG FileUpload DragDrop is used to enable dragging and dropping files on the FileUpload Component. File selection can also be done by dragging and dropping one or more files into the content section of the component. By default, the FileUpload component supports the DragDrop property.

Syntax:

<p-fileUpload name="myfile[]"
                url="./upload.php"
                multiple="multiple">
</p-fileUpload>

Creating Angular application & Module Installation:

Step 1: Create an Angular application using the following command.

ng new appname

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. appname, move to it using the following command.

cd appname

Step 3: Install PrimeNG in your given directory.

npm install primeng --save
npm install primeicons --save

Project Structure: It will look like the following:

Example 1: Below is a simple example demonstrating the use of the Angular PrimeNG FileUpload DragDrop, where we are only accepting a single image using DragDrop.

• app.component.html

HTML

<h2 style="color: green">
  GeeksforGeeks
</h2>
<h4>
      Angular PrimeNG FileUpload DragDrop
</h4>

<p-fileUpload name="myfile[]"
                url="./upload.php">
</p-fileUpload>

• app.component.ts

Javascript

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
    providers: [],
})
export class AppComponent {
    constructor() { }

    ngOnInit() { }
}

• app.module.ts

Javascript

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule }
    from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule }
    from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { FileUploadModule }
    from 'primeng/fileupload';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HttpClientModule }
    from '@angular/common/http';
import { ButtonModule } from 'primeng/button';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        BrowserAnimationsModule,
        ButtonModule,
        HttpClientModule,
        FileUploadModule,
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule { }

Output:
