# Terminal progress bar for Go [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/cheggaaa/pb/badge.svg)](https://coveralls.io/github/cheggaaa/pb) ## Installation ``` go get github.com/cheggaaa/pb/v3 ``` Documentation for v1 bar available [here](README_V1.md) ## Quick start ```Go package main import ( "time" "github.com/cheggaaa/pb/v3" ) func main() { count := 100000 // create and start new bar bar := pb.StartNew(count) // start bar from 'default' template // bar := pb.Default.Start(count) // start bar from 'simple' template // bar := pb.Simple.Start(count) // start bar from 'full' template // bar := pb.Full.Start(count) for i := 0; i < count; i++ { bar.Increment() time.Sleep(time.Millisecond) } bar.Finish() } ``` Result will be like this: ``` > go run test.go 37158 / 100000 [================>_______________________________] 37.16% 1m11s ``` ## Settings ```Go // create bar bar := pb.New(count) // refresh info every second (default 200ms) bar.SetRefreshRate(time.Second) // force set io.Writer, by default it's os.Stderr bar.SetWriter(os.Stdout) // bar will format numbers as bytes (B, KiB, MiB, etc) bar.Set(pb.Bytes, true) // bar use SI bytes prefix names (B, kB) instead of IEC (B, KiB) bar.Set(pb.SIBytesPrefix, true) // set custom bar template bar.SetTemplateString(myTemplate) // check for error after template set if err = bar.Err(); err != nil { return } // start bar bar.Start() ``` ## Progress bar for IO Operations ```go package main import ( "crypto/rand" "io" "io/ioutil" "github.com/cheggaaa/pb/v3" ) func main() { var limit int64 = 1024 * 1024 * 500 // we will copy 200 Mb from /dev/rand to /dev/null reader := io.LimitReader(rand.Reader, limit) writer := ioutil.Discard // start new bar bar := pb.Full.Start64(limit) // create proxy reader barReader := bar.NewProxyReader(reader) // copy from proxy reader io.Copy(writer, barReader) // finish bar bar.Finish() } ``` ## Custom Progress Bar templates Rendering based on builtin text/template package. You can use existing pb's elements or create you own. All available elements are described in element.go file. #### All in one example: ```go tmpl := `{{ red "With funcs:" }} {{ bar . "<" "-" (cycle . "↖" "↗" "↘" "↙" ) "." ">"}} {{speed . | rndcolor }} {{percent .}} {{string . "my_green_string" | green}} {{string . "my_blue_string" | blue}}` // start bar based on our template bar := pb.ProgressBarTemplate(tmpl).Start64(limit) // set values for string elements bar.Set("my_green_string", "green"). Set("my_blue_string", "blue") ```
