progressbar

A very simple thread-safe progress bar which should work on every OS without problems. I needed a progressbar for croc and everything I tried had problems, so I made another one.

Install

go get -u github.com/schollz/progressbar

Usage

Basic usage

bar := progressbar.New(100)
for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
    bar.Add(1)
    time.Sleep(10 * time.Millisecond)
}

which looks like:

 100% |████████████████████████████████████████| [1s:0s]

The times at the end show the elapsed time and the remaining time, respectively.

Long running processes

For long running processes, you might want to render from a 0% state.

// Renders the bar right on construction
bar := progressbar.NewOptions(100, progressbar.OptionSetRenderBlankState(true))

Alternatively, when you want to delay rendering, but still want to render a 0% state

bar := progressbar.NewOptions(100)

// Render the current state, which is 0% in this case
bar.RenderBlank()

// Emulate work
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
    time.Sleep(10 * time.Minute)
    bar.Add(10)
}

Use a custom writer

The default writer is standard output (os.Stdout), but you can set it to whatever satisfies io.Writer.

bar := NewOptions(
    10,
    OptionSetTheme(Theme{Saucer: "#", SaucerPadding: "-", BarStart: ">", BarEnd: "<"}),
    OptionSetWidth(10),
    OptionSetWriter(&buf),
)

bar.Add(5)
result := strings.TrimSpace(buf.String())

// Result equals:
// 50% >#####-----< [0s:0s]

Progress for I/O operations

The progressbar implements an io.Writer so it can automatically detect the number of bytes written to a stream, so you can use it as a progressbar for an io.Reader.

urlToGet := "https://github.com/schollz/croc/releases/download/v4.1.4/croc_v4.1.4_Windows-64bit_GUI.zip"
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", urlToGet, nil)
resp, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
defer resp.Body.Close()

var out io.Writer
f, _ := os.OpenFile("croc_v4.1.4_Windows-64bit_GUI.zip", os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY, 0644)
out = f
defer f.Close()

bar := progressbar.NewOptions(
    int(resp.ContentLength), 
    progressbar.OptionSetBytes(int(resp.ContentLength)),
)
out = io.MultiWriter(out, bar)
io.Copy(out, resp.Body)

See the tests for another example.
