Progress bar support

[aldeed]

@dpankros @yogiben, I had a thought regarding progress. What if it's just a generic ability to pass in a progress template, which we then include with a this.percent context?

{{> afFieldInput name="myFile" type="cfs-file" progressTemplate=pt}}

<template name="myProgress">
  {{this.percent}}% done
</template>

Template.registerHelper("pt", function () {
  return Template.myProgress;
});

That way I have ultimate flexibility to render whatever I want as the progress bar. We could also have a default one.

Could support both direct reference and string name, e.g., progressTemplate="myProgress".

In theory, the only difference is the typeof the progressTemplate attribute. If it's a function, execute it. If it's a string render the template with that name.

I can't see any reason why supporting both would not be possible.

Has the progressbar functionality been implemented yet?

[dpankros]

No. It hasn't been implemented but is in development.

Any status update on the progress bar? I have a usability issue on where large files do not seem to be ending up on the server, and users have no idea that the upload did not complete.

@jalik seems to have a file progress pattern in the UploadFS package. It might be worth seeing if the UploadFS package and cfs-autoform could work together.
