A simple progress logger for Node.js that outputs progress and estimated time remaining to the console.
You can install via npm or yarn.
npm install --save @qntm-code/progress-loggeryarn add @qntm-code/progress-loggerFirst you must create a new instance of the ProgressLogger class. The constructor takes the following arguments:
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| total | number | The total number of items to process. |
| message | string | The message to display before the progress bar. |
| bytes | Optional boolean | Whether the total is bytes. Will format output accordingly |
| averageTimeSampleSize | Optional number | The number of items to use when calculating the average time per item. Defaults to 100. |
| preventOverwrite | Optional boolean | Prevent overwriting the previous log of the bar |
| logFunction | optiona (...args) => void | Provide a custom logging function |
Call tick on the ProgressLogger to notify the progress bar that item(s) have been processed. This method takes the following arguments:
| Argument | Type | Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| amount | number | true | The number of items that were just processed (not the total) |
| duration | number | true | The time taken to process the current item(s). |
If you don't pass a time argument when calling tick, the average time will be calculated using the durations between each time tick is called. This is useful if you are processing items batches as multiple items may be being processed at the same time.
If you want to stop using the ProgressLogger due to an error in your process, you must call dispose on the ProgressLogger instance to ensure the progress logger is disposed and prevent a memory leak. The ProgressLogger will automatically dispose itself if it reaches 100%.
