Upload monitoring progress

Is there a way to listen the upload progress event just like AJAX does?

Example in Using_XMLHttpRequest

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.addEventListener("progress", updateProgress, false);
// progress on transfers from the server to the client (downloads)
function updateProgress(evt) {
  if (evt.lengthComputable) {
    var percentComplete = evt.loaded / evt.total;
    ...
  } else {
    // Unable to compute progress information since the total size is unknown
  }
}

@miukki It took me some time to understand what you were trying to do. I hope I got it right. 😃 Here is example of progress tracker when FormData used with Request: https://github.com/felixge/node-form-data/pull/56/files#diff-3b8080b944f5c64eb2514fe942b7c60fR60

Let me know if it works for you.

i try to listen for uploading data events via request.post interface (npm request) but it doest work. example code

var form = new FormData(); var uploadFile = fs.createReadStream($scope.data.pathFile); var r = request.post({uri: url, jar: false, headers: {‘X-To-Access-Token’: token}}, function (error, response, body){ // response when uploading is done })

form = r.form(); form.append(‘file’, uploadFile);
form.getLength(function(err, len) { r.setHeader(‘Content-Length’, len); });

r.on(‘data’, function (data) { // have nothing here })

uploadFile.on(‘data’, function (chunk) { //its event for read data, not for uploading })

what i did wrong?
