@status-ink/core

Framework-free primitives for animated status and progress text.

npm install @status-ink/core

Controlled status

import { startStatusTransition } from '@status-ink/core';

const transition = startStatusTransition({ status: 'Queued' });
const unsubscribe = transition.subscribe((display) => console.log(display));

transition.update('Running');
transition.update('Complete');

unsubscribe();
transition.stop();
await transition.done;

Set initial: 'enter' to animate the first status. Newer updates cancel stale frames instead of queueing them.

Autonomous fallback

import { startStatusAnimator } from '@status-ink/core';

const animator = startStatusAnimator({
  statuses: ['Loading', 'Indexing', 'Rendering'],
  holdMs: 2500,
  reducedMotion: false,
});
const unsubscribe = animator.subscribe((display) => console.log(display));

unsubscribe();
animator.stop();
await animator.done;

Status labels are caller-owned. Built-in effects are available as named imports and through the ordered effects array. speed changes effect playback; it does not change holdMs.
