The ProgressEvent() constructor returns a new ProgressEvent object, representing the current completion of a long process.
new ProgressEvent(type)
new ProgressEvent(type, options)
type
A string with the name of the event. It is case-sensitive and browsers set it to loadstart, progress, abort, error, load, timeout, or loadend.
options Optional
An object that, in addition of the properties defined in Event(), can have the following properties:
lengthComputable Optional
A boolean value indicating if the total work to be done, and the amount of work already done, by the underlying process is calculable. In other words, it tells if the progress is measurable or not. It defaults to false.
loaded Optional
A number representing the amount of work already performed by the underlying process. For a ProgressEvent dispatched by the browser in HTTP messages, the value refers to the size, in bytes, of the message body, excluding headers and other overhead. In a ProgressEvent you create yourself, you can assign any numeric value to loaded that represents the amount of work completed relative to the total value. It defaults to 0.
total Optional
A number indicating the total size of the data being transmitted or processed. For ProgressEvents dispatched by the browser in HTTP messages, the value refers to the size, in bytes, of a resource and is derived from the Content-Length response header. In a ProgressEvent you create yourself, you may wish to normalize total to a value such as 100 or 1 if revealing the precise amount of bytes of a resource is a concern. If using 1 as a total, for example, then loaded should be a decimal value between 0 and 1. It defaults to 0.
A new ProgressEvent object.
The example demonstrates how a ProgressEvent is built using a constructor. This is particularly useful for tracking the progress of processes like file uploads, downloads, or any long-running tasks.
function updateProgress(loaded, total) {
const progressEvent = new ProgressEvent("progress", {
lengthComputable: true,
loaded,
total,
});
document.dispatchEvent(progressEvent);
}
document.addEventListener("progress", (event) => {
console.log(`Progress: ${event.loaded}/${event.total}`);
});
updateProgress(50, 100);
The total number of bytes of a resource may reveal too much information about a download, so a number between 0 and 1 may be used instead:
function updateProgress(loaded, total) {
const progressEvent = new ProgressEvent("progress", {
lengthComputable: true,
loaded,
total,
});
document.dispatchEvent(progressEvent);
}
document.addEventListener("progress", (event) => {
console.log(`Progress: ${event.loaded}/${event.total}`);
});
updateProgress(0.123456, 1);
