AngularJS - How can I bind an input[type=file] to my $scope (IE9 support)?

Question

I would like to be able to do the following in my controller (Note* I'm using TypeScript):

disclosure.disclosureDocument = $scope.document;

where disclosure is my model. However, this doesn't work as explained here.

My question is there a simple way to bind my input[type=file] to $scope so that I may assign it to my model and pass it through Nancy and to my back-end? If more information is needed, please let me know.

Answer 1

neat way of dealing with models is not to assign everything in scope rather assign a instance of controller to scope variable and use in view

class fooController  {

   public fooModel;
   static $inject = ['$scope'];
   constructor(scope){

   this.fooModel ='hello world'
   //assign instance to a scope variable and access in view
   scope.vm=this
  }
}

and in view

  <div>{{vm.fooModel}}</div>
