Answer 1

Here is how I did it to upload the excel files:
Directory structure:

app
|-----uploadcomponent
           |-----uploadcomponent.module.ts
           |-----uploadcomponent.html
|-----app.module.ts
|-----app.component.ts
|-----app.service.ts

uploadcomponent.html

   

     
     Upload Template
      
   
           

uploadcomponent.ts

    import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
    import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
    ....
    export class UploadComponent implements OnInit {
        form: FormGroup;
        constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder, private uploadService: AppService) {}
        ngOnInit() {  
            this.form = this.formBuilder.group({
               profile: ['']
            });
        }

        onChange(event) {
            if (event.target.files.length > 0) {
              const file = event.target.files[0];

              this.form.get('profile').setValue(file);
              console.log(this.form.get('profile').value)
            }
        }

        onSubmit() {
           const formData = new FormData();
           formData.append('file', this.form.get('profile').value);

           this.uploadService.upload(formData).subscribe(
             (res) => {
               this.response = res;

               console.log(res);

             },
             (err) => {  
               console.log(err);
             });
         }
    }

app.service.ts

    upload(formData) {
        const endpoint = this.service_url+'upload/';
        const httpOptions = headers: new HttpHeaders({    <<<< Changes are here
            'Authorization': 'token xxxxxxx'})
        };
        return this.http.post(endpoint, formData, httpOptions);
    }

In Backend I use DJango REST Framework.
models.py

from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.db import models
from django.db import connection
from django_mysql.models import JSONField, Model
import uuid
import os


def change_filename(instance, filename):
    extension = filename.split('.')[-1]
    file_name = os.path.splitext(filename)[0]
    uuid_name = uuid.uuid4()
    return file_name+"_"+str(uuid_name)+"."+extension

class UploadTemplate (Model):
    id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
    file = models.FileField(blank=False, null=False, upload_to=change_filename)

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.file.name)

views.py.

class UploadView(APIView):
    serializer_class = UploadSerializer
    parser_classes = [MultiPartParser]       

    def get_queryset(self):
        queryset = UploadTemplate.objects.all()
        return queryset

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        file_serializer = UploadSerializer(data=request.data)
        status = None
        message = None
        if file_serializer.is_valid():
            file_serializer.save()
            status = "Success"
            message = "Success"
        else:
            status = "Failure"
            message = "Failure!"
        content = {'status': status, 'message': message}
        return Response(content)

serializers.py.

from uploadtemplate.models import UploadTemplate
from rest_framework import serializers

class UploadSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = UploadTemplate
        fields = '__all__'   

urls.py.

router.register(r'uploadtemplate', uploadtemplateviews.UploadTemplateView, 
    base_name='UploadTemplate')
urlpatterns = [
    ....
    url(r'upload/', uploadtemplateviews.UploadTemplateView.as_view()),
] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT is defined in settings.py of the project.

Thanks!
