I have a Node.js server using Express

const socketio      = require('socket.io'),
      http          = require('http'),
      path          = require('path'),
      express       = require('express'),
      app           = express(),
      serv          = require('http').Server(app),
      cors          = require('cors');

var htmlPath = path.join(__dirname, 'client_data');
    
app.use(cors(corsOptions), express.static(htmlPath));
app.get('/', cors(corsOptions), (req, res, next) => {
    res.sendFile(htmlPath + '/index.html');
});

Client connects via

function init() {
    var url = 'http://192.168.1.5:8080';
    window.open(url, 'theFrame');
}

I'm trying to add a Download Progress Bar for the client side (also, for server side would be nice) for the files retrieved via Express. Is this possible? Thanks!

What is the function that fetches the file on the client side? – Ender_The_Xenocide Apr 27 '21 at 22:21

So is the download just for index.html? – Ender_The_Xenocide Apr 27 '21 at 22:28
@Ender_The_Xenocide for the entire 'client_data' folder – Vardan Betikyan Apr 27 '21 at 22:29
[This](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12098713/upload-progress-request) question might help – Ender_The_Xenocide Apr 27 '21 at 22:29
@Ender_The_Xenocide neither helped me :/ 1 is for uploading a file, the other is something else entirely – Vardan Betikyan Apr 27 '21 at 23:50

Sorry, sent wrong link for the second one :/ [This](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32435830/node-js-progress-indicator-feedback?noredirect=1&lq=1) is what I meant to send – Ender_The_Xenocide Apr 28 '21 at 00:01

The same concepts of the file upload works for download too, I can try to write out some examples if you want – Ender_The_Xenocide Apr 28 '21 at 00:03
@Ender_The_Xenocide I would really appreciate that :) if it doesn't take too much of your time. I'm not a very well programmer – Vardan Betikyan Apr 28 '21 at 01:59
