Usage

Options:

  • total : Total number of steps
  • desc : Simple text shown before the bar (optional)
  • space : Character denoting empty space (default : '.')
  • fill : Character denoting filled space (default : '█')
  • time : Toggle timing mode (default : false)
  • percentage : Toggle percentage display (default : false)
  • scale : Scale of the bar relative to width (between: 0 and 1, default: 0.5, Irrelavant if width is specified)
  • width : Width of the bar (If not specified, it will be automatically calculated using the terminal width and scale)

Code:

final p = FillingBar(desc: "Loading", total: 1000, time: true, percentage:true);
  for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    p.increment();
    sleep(Duration(milliseconds: 10));
  }

Result:

Animation

Loading : ████████████████████████████████████████.................... 673/1000 67.3% [ 0:00:13.28 / 0:00:06.45 ]

Note: You can use the total and desc setters to change the total number of steps and description mid-way.
