Currently (from v. 4.3.0, when using new HttpClient
from @ngular/common/http
) Angular provides listening to progress out of the box. You just need to create HTTPRequest object as below:
import { HttpRequest } from '@angular/common/http';
...
const req = new HttpRequest('POST', '/upload/file', file, {
reportProgress: true,
});
And when you subscribe to to request you will get subscription called on every progress event:
http.request(req).subscribe(event => {
// Via this API, you get access to the raw event stream.
// Look for upload progress events.
if (event.type === HttpEventType.UploadProgress) {
// This is an upload progress event. Compute and show the % done:
const percentDone = Math.round(100 * event.loaded / event.total);
console.log(`File is ${percentDone}% uploaded.`);
} else if (event instanceof HttpResponse) {
console.log('File is completely uploaded!');
}
});
