progress2

node-progress2

Flexible ascii progress bar. Fork of the original to incorporate bug fixes.

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:

• total total number of ticks to complete
• width the number of columns in the progress bar, default 40
• stream the output stream defaulting to stdout
• complete completion character defaulting to "="
• incomplete incomplete character defaulting to "-"

Tokens:

• :bar the progress bar itself
• :current current tick number
• :total total ticks
• :elapsed time elapsed in seconds
• :percent completion percentage
• :eta total estimated remaining time in seconds
• :finish total estimated time of the entire operation in seconds

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('../')
    , 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: '='
      , incomplete: ' '
      , width: 20
      , total: len
    });

    res.on('data', function(chunk){
      bar.tick(chunk.length);
    });

    res.on('end', function(){
      console.log('\n');
    });
  });

  req.end();

The code above will generate a progress bar that looks like this:
