.progress() not working

[vaibhawc]

Are you sure this works? As in my case it doesn't seem to enter in the functions and jumps directly to .then()/.catch(). It waited for the file to upload but never executed anything inside the .progress().
Or may be you could provide an example(point me to it) on how to use it.
Btw, thanks, I'm new to RN and iOS, when nothing else seemed to work, rnfb worked well.
here:
trySendingImageToServer(url,base64ImageString,tryNum){
RNFetchBlob.fetch('POST',url,{
'Authorization' : 'Basic YWRtaW46MXEydzNlNHIlVA==',
},base64ImageString)
.progress((received,total)=>{
console.log('progress',received/total);
})
.then((resp)=>{
console.log("Response : ",resp.text());
})
.catch((err)=>{
console.log("Error : ",err);
if (tryNum>0){
this.trySendingImageToServer(url,base64ImageString,tryNum-1);
console.log("Trying again.. "+tryNum);
}
else{
console.log("Not trying anymore");
Alert.alert('Please check your connection');
}
});
}

Hi @vaibhawc , thank you for your information! Looks like the progress report mechanism is broken since I change the HTTP implementation. I'll fix this issue.

@vaibhawc , thank you for your assistance, this issue has been solved in 1b2d9a7 and will be included in next release 0.6.1, I'll publish this version after doing some more tests on Android.

Thank you @wkh237 , that was very quick and sincere. I am actually trying to send an image where I need to know progress as well handle cancel and resume. I haven't tried it yet, but will have to handle it by my own. It might be a good idea to consider such options like onCancel, onResume. Basically they are inspired by the firebase-storage-api. Or may be I should put it on separate thread.

Hi @vaibhawc , thank you for your suggestion and feedback, I've published a new version 0.6.1 on npm, please re-install the package and see if that fulfills your use case. You're welcome to leave a comment here if there's any question : ) As for the onResume and onCancel options, I think those are very important features that I'm considering to add them into this module 👍

Hi @wkh237 ,It works well, thank you. RNFB is an amazing problem solver for me.
But there are so many functionalities not provided in RN that might be provided by libraries like this in future. One such functionality, which I don't require, but found out while trying firebase-storage, is that FBStorage requires blob to be passed to its API's 'put()' method which essentially means I can't use RN anyhow (afaik) for FBStorage. https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.storage.Reference#put
May be somebody might require it, or may be firebase may provide some alternative to it in future.
As of now, I don't have enough know-how to make one all myself or on top of RNFB (I'd love to).
If you find time, do try it out. :)
I am closing this one here, Thank you for your support. 👍

@vaibhawc , I'm greatly appreciate your thoughtful comments that helped improve the module. Thought we can not use FireBase web SDK directly, I suppose it is possible to use its REST API alternatively. I'm not familiar with FireBase, but I'll take some time and give it a try. 👍
