MultiBar

Display progress bars in Go

$ go run main.go
here we have a progress bar

some work  30% [====================>-------------------------------------------] 925ms
and here we have another progress bar
here we have a longer prepend string  25% [==========>--------------------------] 911ms
working...  19% [=============>-------------------------------------------------] 911ms

Display Options:

When you call .MakeBar(total int, prepend string), the returned progress bar has options that you can change to fit your needs. Here are the defaults:

- Width:           screen width - len(prepend) - 20
- Total:           total (passed in)
- Prepend:         prepend (passed in)
- LeftEnd:         '['
- RightEnd:        ']'
- Fill:            '='
- Head:            '>'
- Empty:           '-'
- ShowPercent:     true
- ShowTimeElapsed: true

Example usage:

example gif

(note, in the example gif, we are manually resetting the terminal mode. We NO LONGER have to, issue fixed)

You can run this with cd demo; go run main.go.

    package main

    import (
        "fmt"
        "sync"
        "time"

    )

    func main() {
        // create the multibar container
        // this allows our bars to work together without stomping on one another
        progressBars, _ := multibar.New()

        // some arbitrary totals for our  progress bars
        // in practice, these could be file sizes or similar
        mediumTotal, smallTotal, largerTotal := 150, 100, 200

        // make some output for the screen
        // the MakeBar(total, prependString) returns a method that you can pass progress into
        progressBars.Println("Below are many progress bars.")
        progressBars.Println("It is best to use the print wrappers to keep output synced up.")
        progressBars.Println("We can switch back to normal fmt after our progress bars are done.\n")

        // we will update the progress down below in the mock work section with barProgress1(int)
        barProgress1 := progressBars.MakeBar(mediumTotal, "1st")

        progressBars.Println()
        progressBars.Println("We can separate bars with blocks of text, or have them grouped.\n")

Idiosyncrasies

When you run tests, a lot of terminal cursor movement happens. This will cause the output to look all kinds of messed up. In most unix systems, clear or cmd+k should clear out the output.
