Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v0.4.3

Published

Flexible ascii progress bar - re-factored

Readme

node-progress-3

(Based on node-progress2) Flexible ascii progress bar. Fork of the original to incorporate bug fixes.

(Update) Updated to add a lot of flexibility and fix some minor issues.

  • Added new format options.
  • Added debouncing.
  • Added color options.
  • Fixed inaccurate size of bar before complete.
  • Fixed ETA and Elapsed times.
  • Formatted seconds to minutes and seconds.
  • Ability to run more than 1 bar. (experimental)

Usage

First we create a ProgressBar, giving it a format string as well as the total, telling the progress bar when it will be considered complete. After that all we need to do is tick() appropriately.

   var ProgressBar = require('node-progress-3');

   var bar = new ProgressBar({ total: 10 });
   var timer = setInterval(function(){
     bar.tick();
   }, 100);

   bar.onComplete = function() {
   	console.log(bar.report);
   	process.exit();
   };

Options:

  • format The string format for the progress bar. (Default: [:bar] :percent)
  • total total number of ticks to complete
  • width the number of columns in the progress bar (Default: 40)
  • stream the output stream defaulting to stdout
  • complete completion character defaulting to "="
  • incomplete incomplete character defaulting to "-"
  • debounce number of milliseconds to wait before re-rendering. (Default: null)
  • justMe if true, will not print other bars, defaults to false.

Tokens:

  • :bar the progress bar itself
  • :current current tick number
  • :total total ticks
  • :elapsed time elapsed in seconds
  • :percent completion percentage
  • :eta total estimated remaining time in seconds
  • :opsec number of operations being performed per second
  • :nl (experimental) should give you the ability to add a new line.
  • :c[color] changes following text to a new color. Use blue, white, yellow, red, or none.

Examples

Download

In our download example each tick has a variable influence, so we pass the chunk length which adjusts the progress bar appropriately relative to the total length.

  var ProgressBar = require('node-progress-3')
    , https = require('https');

  var req = https.request({
      host: 'download.github.com'
    , port: 443
    , path: '/visionmedia-node-jscoverage-0d4608a.zip'
  });

  req.on('response', function(res){
    var len = parseInt(res.headers['content-length'], 10);

    console.log();
    var bar = new ProgressBar({
		complete: '='
		incomplete: ' ',
		width: 20,
		total: len,
		debounce: 800,
		format: "    Downloading [:bar] :percent ETA: :eta | :opsec bytes/sec"
    });

    res.on('data', function(chunk){
      bar.tick(chunk.length);
    });

    res.on('end', function(){
      console.log(bar.report);
    });
  });

  req.end();

The code above will generate a progress bar that looks like this:

  Downloading [=====             ] 29% ETA: 1min 3sec | 28229 bytes/sec
