XMLHttpRequestUpload: loadend event

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers, except for Service Workers.

The loadend event is fired when a request has completed, whether successfully (after load) or unsuccessfully (after abort or error).

The loadend event is also sent when the request has been interrupted (by a timeout, an abort, or an error). In such cases, both the loaded and total value of the event will be 0.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

js
addEventListener("loadend", (event) => {});

onloadend = (event) => {};

Event type

Event properties

In addition to the properties listed below, properties from the parent interface, Event, are available.

lengthComputable Read only

A boolean flag indicating if the total work to be done, and the amount of work already done, by the underlying process is calculable. In other words, it tells if the progress is measurable or not.

loaded Read only

A 64-bit unsigned integer value indicating the amount of work already performed by the underlying process. The ratio of work done can be calculated by dividing total by the value of this property. When downloading a resource using HTTP, this only counts the body of the HTTP message, and doesn't include headers and other overhead.

total Read only

A 64-bit unsigned integer representing the total amount of work that the underlying process is in the progress of performing. When downloading a resource using HTTP, this is the Content-Length (the size of the body of the message), and doesn't include the headers and other overhead.

Examples

Using the loadend event

You can use the loadend event to detect the (successful or not) termination of an upload. For a complete code example that uploads a file and displays a progress bar, see the main XMLHttpRequestUpload page.

js
// When the upload is finished, we hide the progress bar.
xhr.upload.addEventListener("loadend", (event) => {
  progressBar.classList.remove("visible");
  if (event.loaded !== 0) {
    // Successful termination
    log.textContent = "Upload finished.";
  }
  abortButton.disabled = true;
});
