File Uploader plugin for Phonegap - iPhone version

By Matt Kane

Enables multipart/mime file uploads.

Adding the Plugin to your project

Copy the .h and .m file to the Plugins directory in your project. Copy the .js file to your www directory and reference it from your html file(s).

Using the plugin

The plugin creates the object window.plugins.fileUploader with two methods, upload and uploadByUri. These are identical except for the format of the reference to the file to upload. upload takes an absolute path, e.g. /var/tmp/photo_001.jpg, while uploadByUri takes a file:// Uri, e.g. file://localhost/var/tmp/photo_001.jpg. The full params are as follows:

• server URL of the server that will receive the file
• file Absolute path or uri of the file to upload
• params Object with key: value params to send to the server
• fileKey Parameter name of the file
• fileName Filename to send to the server. Defaults to image.jpg
• mimeType Mimetype of the uploaded file. Defaults to image/jpeg
• success Success callback. Passed the response data from the server as a string.
• fail Error callback. Passed the error message.
• progress Called on upload progress. Signature should be function(bytesUploaded, totalBytes)

Here is a simple example usage.

window.plugins.fileUploader.uploadByUri('http://example.com/upload', 'file://path/to/file.jpg', {foo: 'bar'}, 'myPhoto', 'anImage.jpg', 'image/jpeg', 
			function(result) {
				console.log('Done: ' + result);
			}, 
			function(result) {
			    console.log("Error: " + result);
			}, 
			function(loaded, total) {
				var percent = 100 / total * loaded;
				console.log('Uploaded  ' + percent);

			}
		);

This is under development, and the API is likely to change.
