# CLI Progress Bar Setup
Configure cli-progress for advanced progress indication.
## Capabilities
- Configure single and multi-bar progress
- Create custom bar formatters
- Set up ETA calculations
- Implement payload data display
- Create progress bar presets
- Generate progress utilities
## Usage
Invoke this skill when you need to:
- Show download/upload progress
- Display multi-task progress
- Create custom progress formats
- Implement ETA calculations
## Inputs
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| language | string | Yes | Target language |
| format | string | No | Bar format template |
| presets | array | No | Progress bar presets |
## Generated Patterns
### TypeScript Progress Utilities
```typescript
import cliProgress, { SingleBar, MultiBar, Presets } from 'cli-progress';
import chalk from 'chalk';
// Custom format with colors
const defaultFormat = chalk.cyan('{bar}') +
' {percentage}% | ETA: {eta}s | {value}/{total} | {filename}';
// Create single progress bar
export function createProgressBar(options?: {
format?: string;
barSize?: number;
}): SingleBar {
return new SingleBar({
format: options?.format || defaultFormat,
barCompleteChar: '\u2588',
barIncompleteChar: '\u2591',
barsize: options?.barSize || 40,
hideCursor: true,
clearOnComplete: false,
stopOnComplete: true,
}, Presets.shades_classic);
}
// Multi-bar for parallel tasks
export function createMultiBar(): MultiBar {
return new MultiBar({
format: '{name} |' + chalk.cyan('{bar}') + '| {percentage}% | {value}/{total}',
barCompleteChar: '\u2588',
barIncompleteChar: '\u2591',
hideCursor: true,
clearOnComplete: false,
stopOnComplete: false,
}, Presets.shades_grey);
}
// Download progress with speed
export function createDownloadBar(): SingleBar {
return new SingleBar({
format: 'Downloading |' + chalk.cyan('{bar}') +
'| {percentage}% | {speed} MB/s | {value}/{total} MB',
barCompleteChar: '\u2588',
barIncompleteChar: '\u2591',
barsize: 30,
formatValue: (value, options, type) => {
if (type === 'value' || type === 'total') {
return (value / 1024 / 1024).toFixed(2);
}
return String(value);
},
}, Presets.shades_classic);
}
// Wrapper for async operations
export async function withProgress<T>(
total: number,
fn: (update: (current: number, payload?: Record<string, any>) => void) => Promise<T>,
options?: { format?: string }
): Promise<T> {
const bar = createProgressBar(options);
bar.start(total, 0);
try {
const result = await fn((current, payload) => {
bar.update(current, payload);
});
bar.stop();
return result;
} catch (error) {
bar.stop();
throw error;
}
}
// Batch processing with progress
export async function processBatch<T, R>(
items: T[],
processor: (item: T, index: number) => Promise<R>,
options?: { label?: string }
): Promise<R[]> {
const bar = createProgressBar({
format: `${options?.label || 'Processing'} |{bar}| {percentage}% | {value}/{total}`,
});
bar.start(items.length, 0);
const results: R[] = [];
for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
results.push(await processor(items[i], i));
bar.update(i + 1);
}
bar.stop();
return results;
}
// Parallel processing with multi-bar
export async function processParallel<T, R>(
tasks: Array<{
name: string;
items: T[];
processor: (item: T) => Promise<R>;
}>
): Promise<Map<string, R[]>> {
const multiBar = createMultiBar();
const bars = new Map<string, SingleBar>();
const results = new Map<string, R[]>();
// Create bars for each task
for (const task of tasks) {
const bar = multiBar.create(task.items.length, 0, { name: task.name.padEnd(15) });
bars.set(task.name, bar);
results.set(task.name, []);
}
// Process all tasks in parallel
await Promise.all(tasks.map(async (task) => {
const bar = bars.get(task.name)!;
const taskResults = results.get(task.name)!;
for (let i = 0; i < task.items.length; i++) {
taskResults.push(await task.processor(task.items[i]));
bar.update(i + 1);
}
}));
multiBar.stop();
return results;
}
