Simple npm package to report progress of long tasks.
npm install --save progress-statusIn order to use it, you need Node.js 8+. however, I think it should work on lower versions as well, but I have not tested it.
You can use it in two ways – as a global function or as a local one. Global might be updated from everywhere, without passing it directly (just requiring it).
const progress = require("progress-status");
async function testGlobal() {
for (let i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5));
progress(i / 1e3);
}
}You can do it in any file and pass a corresponding value (where 0 is beginning, 1 is end). You can also create it locally and pass around:
const { createProgress } = require("progress-status");
async function testLocal() {
const localProgress = createProgress();
for (let i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5));
localProgress(i / 1e3);
}
