Why would I want that?

Whenever you run a script that process a lot of data and you want to know when it's going to finish. It gives you a clue if it's gonna be minutes or... hours. Progress bar is "multi threaded" meaning that you can invoke it many times.

Installation

Via npm:

npm i simple-cli-progressbar --save

Or if you just want the GIT repository:

git clone git@github.com:dooshek/simple-cli-progressbar.git

You can find every working example in module directory under examples/ directory.

Simple usage

const SimpleProgressBar = require('simple-cli-progressbar')
const delay = (time) => new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, time))

const test = async function () {
  // How many records in total?
  const totalRecords = 250
  const progressbar = new SimpleProgressBar({ total: totalRecords })

  for (let i = 0; i < totalRecords; i++) {

    // currentRecord cannot be 0 so you need to add 1 here
    progressbar.show({ currentRecord: i + 1 })

    await delay(20)
  }
}
