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

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');
        }
    );
