node-progress

Flexible ascii progress bar

Installation

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.

var ProgressBar = require('progress');
 
var bar = ProgressBar.getNew(':bar', { total: 10 });
var timer = setInterval(function(){
bar.tick();
  if (bar.complete) {
    console.log('\ncomplete\n');
    clearInterval(timer);
  }
}, 100);

Options:

• total total number of ticks to complete
• stream the output stream defaulting to stdout
• complete completion character defaulting to "="
• incomplete incomplete character defaulting to "-"

Tokens:

• :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.

var ProgressBar = require('../')
  , 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 code above will generate a progress bar that looks like this:
