listr-verbose-renderer

What is listr-verbose-renderer?

The listr-verbose-renderer npm package is a renderer for Listr, a Node.js library that helps you create a list of tasks with a beautiful output. The verbose renderer outputs more detailed information for each task, making it suitable for debugging or when more information about the task execution is needed.

What are listr-verbose-renderer's main functionalities?

Verbose Output

This feature allows for detailed output during the execution of tasks. Each task's start, end, and output are logged to the console, providing a clear and verbose description of what is happening.

const Listr = require('listr');
const VerboseRenderer = require('listr-verbose-renderer');

const tasks = new Listr([
  {
    title: 'Task 1',
    task: () => Promise.resolve('Result of task 1')
  },
  {
    title: 'Task 2',
    task: () => Promise.resolve('Result of task 2')
  }
], { renderer: VerboseRenderer });

tasks.run();

Other packages similar to listr-verbose-renderer

listr-update-renderer

This package is another renderer for Listr that provides an updating output, which is less verbose than listr-verbose-renderer. It updates the status of tasks in place, which is more suitable for scenarios where a concise output is preferred.

listr-silent-renderer

The listr-silent-renderer is designed for scenarios where no output is desired. It suppresses all task messages, which contrasts with listr-verbose-renderer that provides detailed information about each task's execution.

ora

Ora is a terminal spinner library that provides a way to indicate progress for long-running tasks. While it does not structure tasks in a list like Listr, it can be used to give users feedback on the progress of individual tasks. It is less structured compared to listr-verbose-renderer but can be used for similar purposes in terms of user feedback.
