Precisebar NPM

precisebar is a low-level precise text-based progress bar for use in command-line applications.

Where most text-based progress bars use ascii characters, precisebar takes advantage of widespread unicode support to render sub-character lengths.

Why use precisebar?

precisebar allows for smaller progress bars
precisebar allows for highly precise progress information
precisebar only has one dependency, chalk

Installation

yarn install precisebar

Usage

Basic usage:

const bar = require("precisebar");
const progress = 0.3; // Any number 0-1
const charWidth = 15; // Any integer value
console.log(bar.getProgress(progress, charWidth));

Advanced usage:

const bar = require("precisebar");
const progress = 0.3;
const charWidth = 15;
const beginningColor = "cyan";
const endColor = "bgGrey";
console.log(bar.getProgress(progress, charWidth, beginningColor, endColor));
