AngularJS : How to send files via websocket?

I have tried below sample code. I have used https://github.com/websockets/ws for web-socket server. and in HTML/jS I have modified code like below works fine. Steps are below. (Hope you have node installed).

1. Create a folder and do a npm install --save ws

2. Create a server.js file and add below code.

           const WebSocket = require('ws');
   
           const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 8080 });
   
           wss.on('connection', function connection(ws) {
             ws.on('message', function incoming(message) {
               console.log('received: %s', message);
             });
   
             ws.send('something');
           });
   

3. run node server using node server.js, your websocket server is up on localhost:8080

4. In your browser js change code as below (you are using angular do the change accordingly later as per your requirement)

               var input = document.querySelector('input[type=file]');
           var socket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8080');
   
               socket.addEventListener('open', function (event) {
                   socket.send('Hello Server!');
               });
   
   
           function readFile(event) {
               var ws_msg =  {content: event.target.result };
               socket.send(ws_msg);
               // Here I call the ws.send method 
               //send_chat_message($scope.sender, $scope.receiver , ws_msg );
           }
   
           function changeFile() {
               var file = input.files[0];
               var reader = new FileReader();
               reader.addEventListener('load', readFile);
               reader.readAsText(file);
           }
   
           input.addEventListener('change', changeFile);
   

5. load your JS/HTML and upload a file you should see to console logs in your node server console.

UPDATE:

you can update your node js server code:

            const WebSocket = require('ws');
            const fs = require('fs');

            const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 8080 });


            wss.on('connection', function connection(ws) {
              ws.on('message', function incoming(message) {
                let data =  new Buffer(message);
                    fs.writeFile('new.png', data, 'binary', function (err) {
                        if (err) {
                            console.log("error")
                        }
                        else {
                            console.log("done")
                        }
                    });
              });

              ws.send('something');
            });

And client(browser side js) code as:

            var input = document.querySelector('input[type=file]');
            var socket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8080');

                socket.addEventListener('open', function (event) {
                    socket.send('Hello Server!');
                });

            function readFile(e) {
                //var ws_msg =  {content: event.target.result };
                 var rawData = e.target.result;
                 socket.send(rawData);
                // Here I call the ws.send method 
                //send_chat_message($scope.sender, $scope.receiver , ws_msg );
            }

            function changeFile() {
                var file = input.files[0];
                var reader = new FileReader();  
                reader.addEventListener('load', readFile);
                reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file);
            }

            input.addEventListener('change', changeFile);
