Uploading image to Kinvey and Angularjs

Question

I am trying to change what my app currently does so that instead of inputing a url to reference an image, it uploads the image to the Kinvey collection instead. Here is a JSfiddle of how I am currently saving the info from my form to my kinvey collection.

http://jsfiddle.net/k6MQK/ Heres my angular code for saving the form data:

$scope.savePeep = function () {

    var dataObj = angular.copy($scope.peep);
    delete dataObj['$$hashKey'];

    // Add the ad hoc fields to the peep object if they are filled out
    if ($scope.adHocItem) {
        dataObj.adHocLocation = $scope.adHocItem.normalized_location;
        dataObj.adHocLocation_display = $scope.adHocItem.display_location;
    }


    KinveyService.savePeep(dataObj, function (_result) {

        debugger;
        // update local collection
        KinveyService.setCollectionObject(_result.data, $stateParams.peepId);

        $state.transitionTo('home');
    });
};

I want to change it so that instead of a Text input like this:

   <input type="text" id="menu_url" name="menu_url"
 placeholder="" class="form-control" ng-model="peep.menu_url">

its a file upload input that works.

<input type="file" id="menu_url" name="menu_url"
     placeholder="" class="form-control" ng-model="peep.menu_url">
