Fetch API Download Progress Indicator?

Question

I am trying to capture the download progress of a Fetch request and use that to change the width of a progress bar. I looked at ProgressEvent.lengthComputable as a potential solution but unsure if this can be used with the Fetch API.

Answer 1

without checking for errors (as in try/catch etc...)

const elStatus = document.getElementById('status');
function status(text) {
  elStatus.innerHTML = text;
}

const elProgress = document.getElementById('progress');
function progress({loaded, total}) {
  elProgress.innerHTML = Math.round(loaded/total*100)+'%';
}

async function main() {
  status('downloading with fetch()...');
  const response = await fetch('https://fetch-progress.anthum.com/30kbps/images/sunrise-baseline.jpg');
  const contentLength = response.headers.get('content-length');
  const total = parseInt(contentLength, 10);
  let loaded = 0;

  const res = new Response(new ReadableStream({
    async start(controller) {
      const reader = response.body.getReader();
      for (;;) {
        const {done, value} = await reader.read();
        if (done) break;
        loaded += value.byteLength;
        progress({loaded, total})
        controller.enqueue(value);
      }
      controller.close();
    },
  }));
  const blob = await res.blob();
  status('download completed')
  document.getElementById('img').src = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
}

main();

<div id="status">&nbsp;</div>
<h1 id="progress">&nbsp;</h1>
<img id="img" />
