NAME

Terminal::MultiProgress -- Report progress on multiple things at once in your terminal

SYNOPSIS

use Terminal::MultiProgress;

# make a new widget, see below for options
my $prog = Terminal::MultiProgress.new: title => 'race';

# events can be hashes or objects, with optional timestamps
my $events = supply {
   emit %( :id<hare>,     :status<started> );
   emit %( :id<tortoise>, :status<started> );
   sleep 5;
   emit %( :id<hare>,     :status<finished> );
   sleep 10;
   emit %( :id<tortoise>, :status<finished> );
}

# Use run to send the output to the terminal (blocks until it finishes)
$prog.run: $events

simple progress bars

Output will be status lines that are updated as time goes by. Updates happen every second, starting with

hare started ...                      00:00:00
tortoise started ...                  00:00:00

and ending with

hare started ...... done            ✓ 00:00:02
tortoise started ............ done  ✓ 00:00:03

See below for how to control the output format, and for more interesting examples. Or download the examples in eg/ and run them. e.g. Who will win this race? (these are custom progress bars)

$ raku eg/race.raku

--------------🐇....................................🏁
-----🐢.............................................🏁

race

And how long will it take for all these exciting modules to be installed? eg/installer.raku has a set of multiple events in progress being monitored in a fixed scroll region, with completed events being pruned.

DESCRIPTION

This module is for generating multiple progress bars on your screen for a collection of asynchronous events. It provides an interface for configuring the look and feel of the output and then receives a Supply of events. Each event needs an an identifier which is used to find the right row to update. Scrolling and reaping completed events is handled properly. There is also an update option for managing updates -- this receives a object with enough context to generate a status line that will be updated in place for that identifier.

The list of attributes below can be passed to constructor and affect the appearance and behavior of the widget.

ATTRIBUTES

show-title -- draw the title above the entries?
title -- heading shown when show-title is set
show-frame -- draw a ruler above and below the entries?
rule-width -- width in columns of the show-frame rule lines
show-summary -- draw a completed/running count below the entries?
summary-line -- sub (:$completed, :$running, :$visible, :$tick) returning the text for the summary row
full-screen -- take over the whole terminal instead of drawing below the cursor?
max-rows -- limit on visible entries; older ones scroll off when exceeded
running-color -- default text color for entries that are still running (default: xkcd "sand", #e2ca76)
finished-color -- default text color for entries that have finished (default: xkcd "grey green", #789b73)
tick -- seconds between redraws of running entries
trap-sigint -- stop run cleanly on SIGINT? (default true)
clear-finished -- remove an entry's row once it finishes?
update -- sub (Terminal::MultiProgress::Update) returning the text for an entry's row. See UPDATES below.

METHODS

new -- construct a widget; takes the attributes above as named arguments
run(Supply $events) -- consume events and draw until the supply is done. See below for the format of events.

EVENTS

Events that are sent to run can be either a hash or a Terminal::MultiProgress::Event object.

The object has timestamp (DateTime), identifier (Str) and status (Status enum) attributes. The status enum is either Started or Finished.

The hash can contain these keys which will autocreate an object.

* id/identifier -- the id for the event update
* timestamp -- when it was updated (default now)
* status -- a string containing start or finish/end

UPDATES

The update callback receives a Terminal::MultiProgress::Update object which has an id, elapsed time (seconds), finished for whether the status is finished, and last which is the last line that was drawn for this item.

EXAMPLES

See the eg/ directory for examples.
