Angular 1.5.4 $http progress event

Question

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

Answer 1

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:

{{progressCounter}}%

Result:

progress result
