Flexible ascii progress bar. ## Installation ```bash $ 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. ```javascript 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 complete - `width` the displayed width of the progress bar defaulting to total - `stream` the output stream defaulting to stderr - `complete` completion character defaulting to "=" - `incomplete` incomplete character defaulting to "-" - `clear` option to clear the bar on completion defaulting to false - `callback` 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 ## 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. ```javascript 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: '=', 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. ``` downloading [===== ] 29% 3.7s ``` You can see more examples in the `examples` folder. ## License MIT
