You may have to fiddle with the request headers depending on your api

added ability to cancel a request and a few minor tweaks

changed statuses to enums

very useful, thank u.

@stuartaccent I have a question. Is multipart/form-data supported by your code?

I trying to call a server built with https://github.com/expressjs/multer

I'm sorry for the stupid question. It's working also with multipart without to change anything. Thanks 👍

hey @Ks89, np, glad u found it useful.

Very helpful, thank you!

I had to add this to the @component : providers: [FileUploaderService],
and in the service.ts I had to add: import { Subscription } from 'rxjs/Subscription';
and I ended up importing HttpClientModule in my main app to solve a StaticInjectorError.

To help beginners like myself you might also considering adding the stylesheet and the global vars file so it works right out of the box.

Have added an example at https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-5-file-upload-queue

Good stuff - many thanks! Plugged into an app and worked perfectly OOTB

Thank you! Very helpful.

If the size of the selected files exceed 100 MB, it does not work - the file selection will not even list the files. Is there a limitation or restriction?

Hi @ganeshmuthuvelu,

sorry for the massive delay. Did u ever find out what this was? there is no limit that i know of.
The only thing that springs to mind that does have a 100mg limit for a request is Cloudflare.

Hi everyone...I am a beginner... Thanks a lot to Mr. Stuartaccent for your awesome code.. I have download your code and it works fine... When i change the URL to my cloud domain's URL it is showing this error.... "HttpErrorResponse {headers: {…}, status: 0, statusText: "Unknown Error",".. I have tried with localhost which has xamp server too. Do i need to run any code in my server part? If so what code should i run? Thanks in advance....
