Upload the file from the server to the Ionic2 app

I need to implement a function in my application Ionic2

where users can upload a specific video file to the Ionic2 application.

After checking the section, Ionic Native

I found the following plugins are available:

  • File
  • File selection
  • File opener
  • The path to the file

But couldn't find anything like ' cordova-plugin-file-transfer ' where a specific DOWNLOAD method exists .

What could be the way out?

Please suggest.

You can use Transfer's own plugin for this.

This plugin allows you to upload and download files.



Git Repo.

 ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-file-transfer
 npm install --save @ionic-native/transfer

You must use the " Transfer " plugin to load the file in ionic2

You can install the plugin using this command

ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-file-transfer
npm install --save @ionic-native/transfer

and then import it

import { Transfer, FileUploadOptions, TransferObject } from '@ionic-native/transfer';


install constructor

constructor(private transfer: Transfer, private file: File) { }

Then use this function to download file using url

download() {
const url = 'http://www.example.com/file.pdf';
fileTransfer.download(url, this.file.dataDirectory + 
'file.pdf').then((entry) => {
console.log('download complete: ' + entry.toURL());
}, (error) => {
// handle error
});
}

Hope this helps you You can also upload the file using this plugin
