hi, you must send your image with Base64Encoded , just add this code in your html page :

<form [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">

  <div class="form-group">
    <input type="file" id="avatar" (change)="onFileChange($event)" #fileInput>
  </div>

in your .td add :

onFileChange(event) {
    let reader = new FileReader();
    if(event.target.files && event.target.files.length > 0) {
      let file = event.target.files[0];
      reader.readAsDataURL(file);
      reader.onload = () => {
        this.form.get('avatar').setValue({
          filename: file.name,
          filetype: file.type,
          value: reader.result.split(',')[1]
        })
      };
    }
  }

  onSubmit() {
    const formModel = this.form.value;
   
	
	var body = {'name':formModel.avatar.filename,'content':formModel.avatar.value};
    let headers = new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
	headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8');
	this.http.post(this.Api.Url,body,{ headers: headers}).subscribe(data => {
      
        return data;
    });

}

your api will receive an object with name and content , so you need to convert content from Base64Encoded to image .

Post the data that you are sending. I suggest convert your image to base64 then send it to codeigniter API and check if the codeigniter received your data.
