Flexible ascii progress bar.
Installation
$ npm install progress
Usage
First we create a ProgressBar
, giving it a format string
as well as the total
, telling the progress bar when it will
be considered complete. After that all we need to do is tick()
appropriately.
var ProgressBar = require('progress');
var bar = new ProgressBar(':bar', { total: 10 });
var timer = setInterval(function () {
bar.tick();
if (bar.complete) {
console.log('\ncomplete\n');
clearInterval(timer);
}
}, 100);
Options
These are keys in the options object you can pass to the progress bar along with
total
as seen in the example above.
total
total number of ticks to completewidth
the displayed width of the progress bar defaulting to totalstream
the output stream defaulting to stderrcomplete
completion character defaulting to "="cursor
last completion character defaulting to completeincomplete
incomplete character defaulting to "-"renderThrottle
minimum time between updates in milliseconds defaulting to 16clear
option to clear the bar on completion defaulting to falsecallback
optional function to call when the progress bar completes
Tokens
These are tokens you can use in the format of your progress bar.
:bar
the progress bar itself:current
current tick number:total
total ticks:elapsed
time elapsed in seconds:percent
completion percentage:eta
estimated completion time in seconds
Custom Tokens
You can define custom tokens by adding a {'name': value}
object parameter to your method (tick()
, update()
, etc.) calls.
var bar = new ProgressBar(':current: :token1 :token2', { total: 3 })
bar.tick({
'token1': "Hello",
'token2': "World!\n"
})
bar.tick(2, {
'token1': "Goodbye",
'token2': "World!"
})
The above example would result in the output below.
1: Hello World!
3: Goodbye World!
Examples
Download
In our download example each tick has a variable influence, so we pass the chunk
length which adjusts the progress bar appropriately relative to the total
length.
var ProgressBar = require('../');
var https = require('https');
var req = https.request({
host: 'download.github.com',
port: 443,
path: '/visionmedia-node-jscoverage-0d4608a.zip'
});
req.on('response', function(res){
var len = parseInt(res.headers['content-length'], 10);
console.log();
var bar = new ProgressBar(' downloading [:bar] :percent :etas', {
complete: '=',
cursor: '>',
incomplete: ' ',
width: 20,
total: len
});
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
bar.tick(chunk.length);
});
res.on('end', function () {
console.log('\n');
});
});
req.end();
The above example result in a progress bar like the one below.
