# Progress bar
To introduce a progress bar in your application, include `indicators/progress_bar.hpp` and create a `ProgressBar` object.
```cpp
#include <indicators/progress_bar.hpp>
int main() {
indicators::ProgressBar bar;
// Configure the bar
bar.set_bar_width(50);
bar.start_bar_with("[");
bar.fill_bar_progress_with("=");
bar.lead_bar_progress_with(">");
bar.fill_bar_remainder_with(" ");
bar.end_bar_with("]");
bar.set_postfix_text("Getting started");
bar.set_foreground_color(indicators::Color::GREEN);
bar.hide_elapsed_time();
bar.hide_remaining_time();
// Update bar state
return 0;
}
```
Here's the general structure of a progress bar:
```
{prefix_text} {start} {fill} {lead} {remaining} {end} {percentage} [{elapsed}<{remaining}?] {postfix_text}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Bar Width ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
The amount of progress in ProgressBar is maintained as a float in range `[0, 100]`. When progress reaches 100, the progression is complete.
From application-level code, there are two ways in which you can update this progress:
## Update progress using `bar.tick()`
You can update the progress bar using `bar.tick()` which increments progress by exactly `1%`.
```cpp
#include <indicators/progress_bar.hpp>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
int main() {
indicators::ProgressBar bar;
// Configure the bar
bar.set_bar_width(50);
bar.start_bar_with("[");
bar.fill_bar_progress_with("=");
bar.lead_bar_progress_with(">");
bar.fill_bar_remainder_with(" ");
bar.end_bar_with("]");
bar.set_postfix_text("Getting started");
bar.set_foreground_color(indicators::Color::GREEN);
bar.hide_elapsed_time();
bar.hide_remaining_time();
// Update bar state
while (true) {
bar.tick();
if (bar.is_completed())
break;
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(100));
}
return 0;
}
```
The above code will print a progress bar that goes from 0 to 100% at the rate of 1% every 100 ms.
## Updating progress using `bar.set_progress(value)`
If you'd rather control progress of the bar in discrete steps, consider using `bar.set_progress(value)`. Example:
```cpp
#include <indicators/progress_bar.hpp>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
int main() {
indicators::ProgressBar bar;
// Configure the bar
bar.set_bar_width(50);
bar.start_bar_with("[");
bar.fill_bar_progress_with("=");
bar.lead_bar_progress_with(">");
bar.fill_bar_remainder_with(" ");
bar.end_bar_with("]");
bar.set_postfix_text("Getting started");
bar.set_foreground_color(indicators::Color::GREEN);
bar.hide_elapsed_time();
bar.hide_remaining_time();
// Update bar state
bar.set_progress(10); // 10% done
// do some work
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(100));
bar.set_progress(30); // 30% done
// do some more work
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(600));
bar.set_progress(65); // 65% done
// do final bit of work
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(300));
bar.set_progress(100); // all done
return 0;
}
```
## Multi-threaded Example
```cpp
#include <indicators/progress_bar.hpp>
#include <vector>
int main() {
indicators::ProgressBar bar;
bar.set_bar_width(50);
bar.start_bar_with("[");
bar.fill_bar_progress_with("■");
bar.lead_bar_progress_with("■");
bar.fill_bar_remainder_with("-");
bar.end_bar_with("]");
bar.set_foreground_color(indicators::Color::YELLOW);
bar.hide_elapsed_time();
bar.hide_remaining_time();
// As configured, the bar will look like this:
//
// [■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■-------------] 70%
//
//
std::atomic<size_t> index{0};
std::vector<std::string> status_text =
{
"Rocket.exe is not responding",
"Finding a replacement engineer",
"Buying more snacks",
"Assimilating the modding community",
"Crossing fingers",
"Porting KSP to a Nokia 3310"
};
// Let's say you want to append some status text to the right of the progress bar
// You can use bar.set_postfix_text(...) to append text to the right
//
// [■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■-------------] 70% Finding a replacement engineer
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
//
//
auto job = [&bar, &index, &status_text]() {
while (true) {
if (bar.is_completed()) {
break;
}
bar.set_postfix_text(status_text[index % status_text.size()]);
bar.tick();
index += 1;
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(200));
}
};
std::thread first_job(job);
std::thread second_job(job);
std::thread third_job(job);
std::thread last_job(job);
first_job.join();
second_job.join();
third_job.join();
last_job.join();
return 0;
}
```
# Block Progress Bar
Are you in need of a smooth block progress bar using [unicode block elements](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements)? Use `BlockProgressBar` instead of `ProgressBar`. Thanks to [this blog post](https://mike42.me/blog/2018-06-make-better-cli-progress-bars-with-unicode-block-characters) for making `BlockProgressBar` an easy addition to the library.

```cpp
#include <indicators/block_progress_bar.hpp>
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
int main() {
// Hide cursor
std::cout << "\e[?25l";
indicators::BlockProgressBar bar;
// Configure the bar
bar.set_bar_width(80);
bar.start_bar_with("[");
bar.end_bar_with("]");
bar.set_foreground_color(indicators::Color::WHITE);
bar.hide_elapsed_time();
bar.hide_remaining_time();
// Update bar state
auto progress = 0.0f;
while (true) {
bar.set_progress(progress);
progress += 0.25f;
if (bar.is_completed())
break;
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(50));
}
// Show cursor
std::cout << "\e[?25h";
return 0;
}
```
# Progress Spinner
To introduce a progress spinner in your application, include `indicators/progress_spinner.hpp` and create a `ProgressSpinner` object.
```cpp
#include <indicators/progress_spinner.hpp>
int main() {
indicators::ProgressSpinner spinner;
// Configure the spinner
spinner.set_prefix_text(" ");
spinner.set_postfix_text("Checking credentials");
spinner.set_foreground_color(indicators::Color::YELLOW);
spinner.set_spinner_states({"⠈", "⠐", "⠠", "⢀", "⡀", "⠄", "⠂", "⠁"});
spinner.hide_elapsed_time();
spinner.hide_remaining_time();
// Update spinner state
return 0;
}
```
Here's the general structure of a progress spinner:
```
{prefix_text} {spinner} {percentage} [{elapsed}<{remaining}] {postfix_text}
```
ProgressSpinner has a vector of strings: `spinner_states`. At each update, the spinner will pick the next string from this sequence to print to the console. The spinner state can be updated similarly to ProgressBars: Using either `tick()` or `set_progress(value)`.
```cpp
#include <indicators/progress_spinner.hpp>
int main() {
indicators::ProgressSpinner spinner;
// Configure the spinner
spinner.set_postfix_text("Checking credentials");
spinner.set_foreground_color(indicators::Color::YELLOW);
spinner.set_spinner_states({"⠈", "⠐", "⠠", "⢀", "⡀", "⠄", "⠂", "⠁"});
spinner.hide_elapsed_time();
spinner.hide_remaining_time();
// Update spinner state
auto job = [&spinner]() {
while (true) {
if (spinner.is_completed()) {
spinner.set_foreground_color(indicators::Color::GREEN);
spinner.set_prefix_text("✔");
spinner.hide_spinner();
spinner.hide_percentage();
spinner.set_postfix_text("Authenticated!");
spinner.mark_as_completed();
break;
} else
spinner.tick();
std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(40));
}
};
std::thread thread(job);
thread.join();
return 0;
}
```
