It's possible for promises to report their progress, e.g. for tasks that take a
long time like a file upload. Not all promises will implement progress
notifications, but for those that do, you can consume the progress values using
a third parameter to then
:
return uploadFile()
.then(function () {
// Success uploading the file
}, function (err) {
// There was an error, and we get the reason for error
}, function (progress) {
// We get notified of the upload's progress as it is executed
});
Like fail
, Q also provides a shorthand for progress callbacks called progress
:
return uploadFile().progress(function (progress) {
// We get notified of the upload's progress
});
