error on upload

[burgessa23]

I'm trying to see if this will work for my project,
when i run the demo, the node server is throwing: "TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined" on this line: var newImageLocation = path.join(__dirname, image_download_dir , image.name);

any ideas?

I haven't ever used the backend.
Image is undefined. It could be that the image isn't being sent to the server correctly. You can sniff the packets with tcpflow,or maybe inspect the network tab in chrome. Sorry.
My main purpose for the refactor was to get datauri working and drag and drop working.

If you figure this out I will accept a pr.

I send images to my server via posting their JSON which has the datauri in it.

https://github.com/boxxxie/angularjs-imageupload-directive/blob/master/demo/back-end/app.js#L29

put a console.log(req, req.files); on that line.
it could be that the changes in the directive aren't sending the files to the server anymore.

[burgessa23]

that was the first thing i did, req.files is an empty object

thanks for your help btw, i might just go with the base64 encoded version.

but i think its probably worth figuring this out either way.

Cheers,

OK. it may be a front end issue.
I'll look into it. however I thought that there were other image uploaded that delt with files very well.
now that I have experience with making datauri images I may look into the other directives and work with them.

I'll attempt to fix this problem soon.

I'll see if i can get it going on my end too...

pull and see if that fixed things.

[burgessa23]

req.body still empty

[boxxxie]

The backend isn't working because the frontend is requesting files that the backend isn't allowed to serve.
i need to make a build script to build the demo app. then maybe debugging the backend/frontend for sending files should be easier.

[burgessa23]

i've got it working now, the back end is fine, the issue was in app.js
headers: { 'Content-Type': false } needs to be: headers: { 'Content-Type': undefined }
if using angular > 1.2.2

this is after pulling your update

[boxxxie]

can you submit a PR?

[burgessa23]

Done

Thanks.
