Canceling a File Upload

[bunyaminsg]

Since it may take a while to upload big files, I want the users to be able to cancel it while it's uploading (i.e. before filePick output event triggered). Is there a way to send an event to the file picker directive to stop uploading?

Hi! The filePick event occurs when the file has been read from the filesystem, not when it has been uploaded (this is yours to implement). I'll do some testing to see how we could cancel the read operation if it could help you.

Stay tuned ;-)

Sorry for the confusion, I meant canceling the reading from the filesystem. Btw, I was using FileReader.abort() method to cancel the read operation in my own implementation, maybe it helps you. Thanks!

This is exactly what I was thinking of but I need to refactor how it's currently implemented. Moreover, if you select multiple files, do you expect the abortion to be on all the files or just the one currently read?

In the UI, I was trying to achieve something like:

• File1 [>>> Loading ] [x Cancel]
• File2 [>>> Loading ] [x Cancel]

So, in my specific use case, it's better to have a file-by-file cancellation option. However, I don't know what is the common behavior of the similar libraries.
