ng2-file-upload single upload override file upload

Question

I do the demo base on this tutorial: https://github.com/valor-software/ng2-file-upload. I want to single file upload but without remove file button. By adding the File A, after that I add the File B. File A will be replaced by file B. here is my uploader:

 this.uploader = new FileUploader(
      {
        url: this.baseURL,
        allowedFileType: ["xls"],
        maxFileSize: 5,
        queueLimit: 1
      });

Please advice me

Answer 1

Probably you can use onAfterAddingFile callback of the library provided function. Below is the sample code. This is always override old file with latest file and queue will always contain one item which is the latest file.

  ngOnInit() {

     this.uploader.onAfterAddingFile = (fileItem: FileItem) => this.onAfterAddingFile(fileItem)

}

onAfterAddingFile(fileItem: FileItem) {
   let latestFile = this.uploader.queue[this.uploader.queue.length-1]
   this.uploader.queue = []; 
   this.uploader.queue.push(latestFile);
} 

Answer 2

this.uploader.onAfterAddingFile = (fileItem: FileItem) => {
  if (this.uploader.queue.length > 0) {
    this.uploader.queue = [fileItem];
  }
};

Answer 3

As Arun Muthiyarkath suggested, you can use the onAfterAddingFile, but the shorter code would be:

  ngOnInit() {
    this.uploader.onAfterAddingFile = (fileItem: FileItem) => {
      if (this.uploader.queue.length > 1) {
        this.uploader.removeFromQueue(this.uploader.queue[0]);
      }
    };
  }
