Angular upload csv file into scope not post to server

You could use the FileReader for files that have been selected by the user(!)

Your file input:

<input type="file" id="fileInput"/>

Listening for a change event on the element:

document.getElementById("fileInput").addEventListener("change", function(e) {
   var file = e.target.files[0];
   if(!file)
      return;

   var reader = new FileReader();
   reader.onload = function(e) {
      var contents = e.target.result;
      // add it to a $scope variable
      $scope.fileContent = contents;
      $scope.$apply();    // if you are outside of the AngularJS digest cycle
   };
   reader.readAsText(file);       
}, false);
