I am downloading file using HTTP
POST
method. I want to call another method to show download progress to end user until file download complete.
How to use reportProgress
in HttpClient
for this.
downfile(file: any): Observable<any> {
return this.http.post(this.url , app, {
responseType: "blob", reportProgress: true, headers: new HttpHeaders(
{ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
)
});
}
You need to use reportProgress: true
to show some progress of any HTTP
request. If you want to see all events, including the progress of transfers
you need to use observe: 'events'
option as well and return an Observable
of type HttpEvent
. Then you can catch all the events(DownloadProgress, Response..etc)
in the component method.
Find more details in Angular Official Documentation.
downfile(file: any): Observable<HttpEvent<any>>{
return this.http.post(this.url , app, {
responseType: "blob", reportProgress: true, observe: "events", headers: new HttpHeaders(
{ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
)
});
}
Then in component you can catch all the events
as below.
this.myService.downfile(file)
.subscribe(event => {
if (event.type === HttpEventType.DownloadProgress) {
console.log("download progress");
}
if (event.type === HttpEventType.Response) {
console.log("donwload completed");
}
});
Find HttpEventTypes Here.
you will have to add HttpClientModule in your AppModule
you first need to build a request object by creating an instance of HttpRequest class and using reportProgress option.
