linespin

Simple progress output

Extracted from music.json

Why?

It's nice to know that your program is running and not dead with a simple spinner animation

Usage

  $ npm install linespin

  // linespin_example.js

  var Linespin = require('./linespin');

  // Create new instance of linespin
  var linespin = new Linespin('Spinning...', 'All done!', 100);

  // Start spinner at beginning of task
  linespin.start();


  // Some long running task...
  linespin.error('Error!');

  // Continuing process...
  linespin.warn('Warning!');

  // Stop at the end of task
  linespin.stop();

  $ node linespin_example.js
    [/] Spinning...

  # During process...

  $ node linespin_example.js
    [!] Warning!        # red
    [!] Error!          # Yellow
    [-] Spinning...     # Blue

  # On finish

  $ node linespin_example.js
    [✓] All done!       # Green

Notes

• Assumes your progress does not print to console/stdout as the spinner works by replacing the same line over and over again to produce the animation
• Add editable color options
• Need to add Gruntfile
