Schema

The schema defines appearance the progress bar. Few inner tokens and many formatting methods can be used to customer you progress bar.

Tokens

These are tokens you can use in the format of your progress bar.

• :filled Completed part of the progress bar.
• :blank Blank part of the progress bar.
• :bar Whole progress bar, equal to :completed:blank.
• :current Current tick number.
• :total Total ticks.
• :percent Completion percentage.
• :elapsed Time elapsed in seconds.
• :eta Estimated completion time in seconds.

Custom Tokens

You can define custom tokens by adding a {name: value} object parameter to your method (tick(), update(), etc.) calls.

var bar = new ProgressBar({
    schema: ':current: :token1 :token2',
    total : 3 
});
bar.tick({
  'token1': "Hello",
  'token2': "World!"
})
bar.tick(2, {
  'token1': "Goodbye",
  'token2': "World!"
})

The above example would result in the output below.

1: Hello World!
