Hi, I am still a beginner when it comes to NodeJS and its modules. I could really use some assistance with creating a progress bar for an application I'm working on. Right now, the progress bar only reaches 100% upon completion and I suspect my piping technique might be incorrect. Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated!
In addition, I am also sending data through a socket if that detail makes a difference.
const request = require('request');
const io = require('socket.io')(http)
const fs = require('fs');
var progress = require('progress-stream');
var str = progress({
time: 1000
});
str.on('progress', function(progress) {
console.log(Math.round(progress.percentage) + '%');
});
io.on('connection', (socket)=>{
socket.on('fileUploader',()=>{
let formData = {
preview_file: fs.createReadStream(filePath};
request.post({
url: 'http://httpbin.org/post',
formData: formData
},
function optionalCallback(err, httpResponse, body) {
if (err) {
return console.error('upload failed:', err);
}
console.log('Upload successful! Server responded with:', body);
}).pipe(str);
})
})
