Usage

progress bars

Call next to advance and finish to finish.

Bar b = new Bar();
b.message = {return "Processing";};
b.max = 20;
foreach(i; 0 .. 20)
{
    //Do some work
    b.next();
}
b.finish();

Processing |##################              | 12/20

In the general case, you can use the iter method to write simply

import std.range : iter;

Bar b = new Bar();
foreach(i; b.iter(iota(20)) )
{
    //Do something
}

Progress bars are very customizable, you can change their width, their fill character, their suffix and more.

import std.conv : to;

b.message = {return "Loading";};
b.fill = '@';
b.suffix = {return b.percent.to!string ~ "%";};

This will produce a bar like the following:

Loading |@@@@@@@                         | 24%

There are various properties that can be used in message and suffix.

Instead of passing all configuration options on instatiation, you can create your custom subclass:

class CustomBar : Bar
{
    this()
    {
        super();
        bar_prefix = "/";
        bar_suffix = "/";
        empty_fill = " ";
        fill = "/";
        suffix = {return "Custom";};
    }

You can also override any of the arguments or create your own:

class SlowBar : Bar
{
    this()
    {
        super();
        suffix = {return this.remaining_hours.to!string ~ "hours remaining";};
    }
    @property long remaining_hours()
    {
        return this.eta.total!"hours";
    }
}

Spinners

For actions with an unknown number of steps you can use a spinner:

import progress.spinner;

auto s = new Spinner();
s.message = {return "Loading";};
while (finished != true)
{
    //Do something
    s.next();
}

Counters

Counters can be used like progress bar.
However, Counter is the same as spinners, and has no properties that require maximum value.

Dman

Same as spinners. it's very big.
