Now Angular 1.5.4 finally allows you to track progress event on $http provider but for some reason I keep getting the $rootScope as a response instead of an actual progress (I'm using it for uploads) information. Because of lack of examples I found some tests in the Angular repo and followed that but to no success.
restClientInstance.post = function (requestParams) {
var postParams = {
method: "POST",
url: API_URL + requestParams.url,
headers: requestParams.headers,
data: requestParams.data,
eventHandlers: {
progress: function (c) {
console.log(c);
}
},
uploadEventHandlers: {
progress: function (e) {
console.log(e);
}
}
};
var promise = $http(postParams)
$rootScope.$apply();
return promise;
};
In both cases it consoles $rootScope rather than the lengthComputable
In AngularJS v1.5.7 works fine. If you have the chance I recommend upgrade!
...//formData = new FormData(); etc...
var postParams = {
method: 'POST',
url: yourURLWS,
transformRequest: angular.identity,
uploadEventHandlers: {
progress: function (e) {
if (e.lengthComputable) {
$scope.progressBar = (e.loaded / e.total) * 100;
$scope.progressCounter = $scope.progressBar;
}
}
},
data: formData,
headers: {'Content-Type': undefined }
};
var sendPost = $http(postParams); //etc...
in HTML you have:
<progress id="progress" max="100" value="{{progressBar}}"></progress>{{progressCounter}}%
Result:
progress result
The feature is broken for now: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/14436
Well I ended up doing something like this and just handle it myself as the XHR events added to $http dont work for me.
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
var promise = $q.defer();
xhttp.upload.addEventListener("progress",function (e) {
promise.notify(e);
});
xhttp.upload.addEventListener("load",function (e) {
promise.resolve(e);
});
xhttp.upload.addEventListener("error",function (e) {
promise.reject(e);
});
xhttp.open("post",API_URL + requestParams.url,true);
xhttp.send(requestParams.data);
return promise.promise;
note - I have not worked with NG 1.5.4, the example below is for leveraging existing pre 1.5.4 APIs
The notify(event)
API is part of the deferred object when you call $q.defer()
. I'm not sure what a practical implementation of this would be in terms of a typical get/put/post call via $http
. But if you want to see it in action you can do something like this:
some service API
var mockRqst = function(){
var d = $q.defer()
var crnt = 0
$off = $interval( function(){
d.notify( crnt )
crnt += 5
if (crnt >= 100)
{
$interval.cancel( $off ) //cancel the interval callback
d.resolve( "complete" )
}
}
return d.promise
}
using the notification
someService.mockRqst()
.then( thenCallback, catchCallback, function( update ){
console.log("update", update)
})

Again, I must stress that I'm not entirely sure how you can tie this into an actual external http call.
As seen in the docs here, the third parameter in a promise is a notify
function.
notify(value)
- provides updates on the status of the promise's execution. This may be called multiple times before the promise is either resolved or rejected.
It can be used like this:
$http(requestData)
.then(
function success() {
console.log('success');
},
function error() {
console.log('error');
},
function notify() {
console.log('notified');
}
);
