How do you POST a FormData object in Angular 2?

Question

I need to upload a file and send some json along with it, I have this function:

POST_formData(url, data) {
        var headers = new Headers(), authtoken = l         


        

Answer 1

It's an Open Isuue on Angular2 Git Repository, and there is also a Pull Request waiting to be merged, hope that it will be merged soon.

Alternatively,

You can use XMLHttpRequest Object directly, for that.

And don't forget to set the header

xhr.setRequestHeader("enctype", "multipart/form-data");

// IE workaround for Cache issues
xhr.setRequestHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");

on the XMLHttpRequest that you make.
