Sails have built-in streaming file uploads utility called skipper. In general you can upload files from angular to any sails endpoint. Then you just need to perform something like this in your controller:
req.file('avatar').upload(function (err, uploadedFiles){
if (err) return res.send(500, err);
return res.send(200, uploadedFiles);
});
You can also pass skipper options:
req.file('avatar').upload({
// ...any other options here...
}, ...);
If you aplication should upload files frequently I would recommend you to create service for this based on skipper API.
