xprogress
Construct Dynamic, Flexible, extensible progressive CLI bar for the terminal built with NodeJS
DOCUMENTATION INCOMPLETE
Features
- Stream management functionality


Installing
Via NPM:
npm install xprogress
Usage
Create a basic progress bar that updates itself with 10% twice every second until it's at maximum
import ProgressBar from 'xprogress';
const ProgressBar = require('xprogress');
const bar = new ProgressBar(100);
const interval = setInterval(() => {
bar.tick(10).draw();
if (bar.isComplete()) {
bar.end(`The bar completed\n`);
clearInterval(interval);
}
}, 500);

How It Works
ProgressBar uses stringd to parse content within ProgressBar::template with variables in ProgressBar::variables and then displays them on the terminal.
This sequence occurs for every time ProgressBar::draw() is called.
API
new ProgressBar(total[, slots][, opts])
Create and return an xprogress instance
slots define the percentage to each part of the progressbar. This is parsed by pad-ratio to a max of 100.
const bar = new ProgressBar(100, [20, 44]);
bar: Object
blank: <string> Content to use for the blank portion of the progressbar. Default: '-'.
filler: <string> Content to use for the filled portion of the progressbar. Default: '#'.
header: <string> Content to use for the header(s) of progressbars. Default: ''.
colorize: <boolean> Whether or not to allow colors in the bar. Default: true.
separator: <string> Content to use when separating bars. Default: ''.
pulsateSkip: <number> Distance away at which to skip a pulsating bar. Default: 15.
pulsateLength: <number> The length of a pulsating progressbar. Default: 15.
clean: <boolean> Whether or not to clear the progressbar buffer on the terminal after ProgressBar::end() has been called. Default: false.
flipper: <string|string[]> Content(s) to use for the progressbar flipper. This would cycle through all indexes in this property for everywhere :{flipper} is speified. Default: ['|', '/', '-', '\'].
pulsate: <boolean> Whether or not to use a pulsate view for the progressbar. Default: false.
-
template: <string|string[]> The template to use for the progressbar view. This is parsed by stringd. with this.variables Default: ''.
-
variables: <VariableOpts> Variables with which to parse this.template, extended with cStringd.raw.
forceFirst: <boolean> Whether or not to force a multi-bar progressbar to a single bar (useful either when terminal width is too small or when filled with excess addons). Default: false.
writeStream: <WriteStream> The tty-ish writable stream we are writing to. Default: stdout.
The global options shared by both ProgressBar and ProgressStream.
tag: <any> Floating mutable tag to be attached to the bar
- *
bar: <string> The progress bar itself
- *
label: <any> The label to be attached to the bar
- *
total: <any> The maximum value for the entire duration of the bar
flipper: <any> The flipper as defined in the definition for the progressbar. Default: ['|', '/', '-', '\'].
- *
completed: <any> The value for the completion level of the entire bar activity. Generated from ProgressBar::average().completed
- *
remaining: <any>
- *
percentage: <any>
Variables with which to parse this.template, extended with cStringd.raw. variables prepended with * will be ignored anywhere else besides wherever's explicitly requesting a drawn bar.
eta: <string> Duration for the entire progress to end. Parsed by prettyMs
size: <ByteString> Human readable size for the number of total transferred bytes. Parsed by xbytes
speed: <string> Human readable speed for the number of bits transferred per second. Parsed by xbytes
progress: <ProgressStreamSlice> The Progress Object
eta:raw: <number> Duration estimate of how long it would take for the stream to end based on the number of bytes being steadily transmitted per second.
slot:bar: <string> The bar for the active chunk of the progressbar.
slot:blank: <string> The character with which to be used as the slot's blank character.
slot:eta: <string> Duration estimate for the active chunk to be completed. Parsed by prettyMs
slot:eta:raw: <number> Duration estimate for the active chunk to be completed.
slot:filler: <string|string[]> The character(s) with which to be used as the slot's filler character.
slot:header: <string> The character with which to be used as the slot's header character.
slot:size: <ByteString> Human readable size for the number of transferred bytes specific for the active chunk. Parsed by xbytes
slot:total: <ByteString> Human readable size for the total number of bytes that can be processed by the active chunk. Parsed by xbytes
slot:runtime: <string> Runtime for the active chunk. Parsed by prettyMs
slot:runtime:raw: <number> Runtime for the active chunk.
slot:percentage: <string> Integer defining the active slot completion percentage
slot:size:total: <ByteString> Human readable size for the total number of bytes transferred in a single instance
