You can listen to a download progress event. The event name is the same as the url
parameter
window.addEventListener(url, e => {
console.log(`${e.detail.percent}% done`);
});
Note: this feature requires the Content-Length
response header to be exposed. This works by adding Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Content-Length
to the response header (read more here and here)
On Amazon S3, this means adding the following line to your bucket policy, inside the <CORSRule>
block:
<ExposeHeader>Content-Length</ExposeHeader>
