Advanced tools
The cli-spinner npm package is a simple and customizable spinner for command-line interfaces. It helps to indicate that a process is ongoing, providing a visual cue to users that something is happening in the background.
Basic Spinner
This feature allows you to create a basic spinner that shows a rotating animation in the terminal. The spinner can be customized with different characters.
const Spinner = require('cli-spinner').Spinner;
const spinner = new Spinner('processing.. %s');
spinner.setSpinnerString('|/-\\');
spinner.start();
setTimeout(() => spinner.stop(true), 5000);
Custom Spinner Strings
This feature allows you to use predefined spinner strings by passing an index to the setSpinnerString method. Each index corresponds to a different spinner animation.
const Spinner = require('cli-spinner').Spinner;
const spinner = new Spinner('loading.. %s');
spinner.setSpinnerString(18);
spinner.start();
setTimeout(() => spinner.stop(true), 5000);
Spinner with Custom Interval
This feature allows you to set a custom delay interval for the spinner animation, making it faster or slower depending on your needs.
const Spinner = require('cli-spinner').Spinner;
const spinner = new Spinner('waiting.. %s');
spinner.setSpinnerString('|/-\\');
spinner.setSpinnerDelay(100);
spinner.start();
setTimeout(() => spinner.stop(true), 5000);
Ora is a more feature-rich spinner for command-line interfaces. It offers more customization options, such as different spinner styles, colors, and text. Ora also supports promises, making it easier to integrate with asynchronous operations.
Cli-spinners is a collection of various spinner animations for use in command-line interfaces. It provides a wide range of spinner styles that can be easily integrated into your CLI applications. Unlike cli-spinner, it focuses more on providing a variety of spinner animations rather than customization.
Elegant-spinner is a minimalistic spinner for command-line interfaces. It provides a simple API for creating spinners with a focus on elegance and simplicity. It is less customizable compared to cli-spinner but is very lightweight and easy to use.
