ng-flow is a [Flow.js](https://github.com/flowjs/flow.js) extensions for angular.js framework, no 3rd party JS dependencies required!

Demo: http://flowjs.github.io/ng-flow/

How can I install it?
============
1) Get the library:

**Direct Download**
Download a latest build from https://github.com/flowjs/ng-flow/releases
it contains development and minified production files in `dist/` directory,
they are also concatenated with core flow.js library.

**Using NPM**

npm install @flowjs/ng-flow --save

**Using Bower**

bower install ng-flow#~2

**Git Clone**

git clone https://github.com/flowjs/ng-flow

**Using Yeoman**

bower install "ng-flow#~2" --save
grunt bower-install

2) Add the module to your app as a dependency:

angular.module('app', ['flow'])

3) Include the files in your project
```html

```

How can I use it?
============

First of all wrap places there you are going to use Flow.js
````html


... other flow directives goes here ...

````

This directive is going to add $flow variable to current scope.
Also directive can be nested, because `$flow` variable is going to be overridden.
`$flow` is instance of [Flow](https://github.com/flowjs/flow.js#flow).

Secondly you need to assign some upload buttons:
````html

Input OR Other element as upload button
Upload File
````

First button is for normal uploads and second is for directory uploads.
Note: avoid using `` and `` tags as file upload buttons, use `` instead.

Now you need to display uploaded files, all you need to do is to loop files array.
Files array is attached to flow object named `$flow`.
````html

{{$index+1}}
{{file.name}}

````

file is instance of [FlowFile](https://github.com/flowjs/flow.js#flowfile).

### Quick setup
````html


Input OR Other element as upload button
Upload File



{{$index+1}}
{{file.name}}
{{file.msg}}



````

Need more examples?
============
Clone this repository and go to "ng-flow/samples/basic/index.html".
Single image upload "ng-flow/samples/image/index.html".

How can I drop files?
============

Use `flow-drop` directive:
````html


Drag And Drop your file here

````
Note: in most cases `flow-drop` must be used together with `flow-prevent-drop` directive on `body`
element, because it prevents file from being loaded in the browser.

### Prevent dropping files on a document
Use `flow-prevent-drop` directive on `body` element:
````html

````

### How to add some styles while dropping a file?
Use `flow-drag-enter` directive:
````html



````
Note: `flow-drag-leave` attribute can't be used alone, it is a part of `flow-drag-enter` directive.

### How to dynamically disable drop area?
````html


Drag And Drop your file here

````
See example at `samples/dataurl/`.

How can I preview uploaded image?
============

Use flow-img directive:
````html

````

Image will be automatically updated once file is added. No need to start upload.

How can I set options for flow.js?
============

Use config:
````javascript
var app = angular.module('app', ['flow'])
.config(['flowFactoryProvider', function (flowFactoryProvider) {
flowFactoryProvider.defaults = {
target: '/upload',
permanentErrors:[404, 500, 501]
};
// You can also set default events:
flowFactoryProvider.on('catchAll', function (event) {
...
});
// Can be used with different implementations of Flow.js
// flowFactoryProvider.factory = fustyFlowFactory;
}]);
````

also can be configured on "flow-init" directive:
````html


````

How can I catch events?
============

Events are listed inside `flow-init` directive:
````html



````

### How can I catch an event in a controller?
If controller is on the same scope as `flow-init` directive or in a child scope,
then we can catch events with `$on`. Events are prefixed with `flow::`.
````javascript
$scope.$on('flow::fileAdded', function (event, $flow, flowFile) {
event.preventDefault();//prevent file from uploading
});
````
second argument is always a `flow` instance and then follows event specific arguments.

How can I assign flow to a parent scope?
============

Use `flow-name` attribute and set it to any variable in the scope.
````html


... Flow is set to obj.flow ...
I have uploaded files: #{{obj.flow.files.length}}

````
````javascript
$scope.obj = {}; // variable "obj" must be initialized on the scope
````

How can I initialize flow with an existing flow object ?
============

Use `flow-object` attribute and set it with the existing flow object on scope.
````html


... Flow is initialized with existingFlowObject, no new Flow object is created ...
There are already {{ existingFLowObject.files.length }} files uploaded,
which is equal to {{ $flow.files.length }}.

````

How can I support older browsers?
============
Go to https://github.com/flowjs/fusty-flow.js
and add to your config:
````javascript
var app = angular.module('app', ['flow'])
.config(['flowFactoryProvider', function (flowFactoryProvider) {
flowFactoryProvider.factory = fustyFlowFactory;
}]);
````

Contribution
============
To ensure consistency throughout the source code, keep these rules in mind as you are working:

* All features or bug fixes must be tested by one or more specs.

* With the exceptions listed below, we follow the rules contained in [Google's JavaScript Style Guide](http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javascriptguide.xml):

* Wrap all code at 100 characters.

* Instead of complex inheritance hierarchies, we prefer simple objects. We use prototypical
inheritance only when absolutely necessary.
