Azure blob storage cancel upload

Alexander Angelo 6

Hi,

I am using Aurelia client and uploading files to Azure Blob Storage.

       azblob.uploadBrowserDataToBlockBlob(azblob.Aborter.none,
            file.fileData,
            blockBlobURL, {
            blockSize: blockSize,
            progress: function (ev) {
                file.uploadPercent = Math.round((ev.loadedBytes * 100) / file.fileData.size);
                file.uploadMessage = file.uploadPercent + "%";
                file.uploadPercentStyle = `width: ${file.uploadPercent}%`;
            }
        }

Now, I want to be able to abort uploading when the user presses a cancel button. Is there a way I can cancel/abort the upload?

thanks
Angelo

@Alexander Angelo Firstly, apologies for the delay in responding here and any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

Can you please elaborate bit more on your issue?

It's an app using Aurelia. So when users choose files, I am using uploadBrowserDataToBlockBlob to upload the file to Azure Blob Storage - in Aurelia itself (basically using ES6), not invoking any external api to do this. It all works fine but now I am trying to implement a Cancel functionality where for example, if the file takes too long to upload or if they accidentally choose the wrong file, users can click a button to cancel which in turn will cancel the upload - which I think would be best to be placed within the Progress function, but not sure how I can do this.

Thanks for your help

Angelo
