Direct Upload to Azure
The FileUploader component supports direct-upload to blob storages. This demo illustrates how to configure the uploadChunk property to upload a large file directly to Azure Blob Storage without using a user's web server. All APIs that implement access to Azure Blob Storage on the client are stored in the azure.file.system.js file (app.service.ts - for Angular framework).
To implement file upload logic, use the uploadChunk property to specify how to process a connection request to the storage.
Feel free to share demo-related thoughts here.
