multimeter

Control multiple ANSI progress bars on the terminal.

example

var multimeter = require('multimeter');
var multi = multimeter(process);

multi.drop(function (bar) {
    var iv = setInterval(function () {
        var p = bar.percent();
        bar.percent(p + 1);
        
        if (p >= 100) clearInterval(iv);
    }, 25);
});

methods

var multimeter = require('multimeter');

var multi = multimeter(stream, ...)

Create a new multimeter handle on the supplied stream/process objects, which will be passed directly to charm.

If you pass in a charm object that will be used instead of creating a new one.

var bar = multi(x, y, params)

Create a new progress bar at (x,y) with params which default to:

• width : 10
• before : '['
• after : '] '
• solid : { background : 'blue', foreground : 'white', text : '|' }
• empty : { background : null, foreground : null, text : ' ' }

multi.drop(params, cb)

Create a new progress bar at the present cursor location. The bar object will be passed to cb(bar) once the cursor location has been determined.

multi.on(...), multi.removeListener(...), multi.destroy(...), multi.write(...)

Call event emitter functions on the underlying charm object.

bar.percent(p, msg=p + ' %')

Update the progress bar to p percent, a value between 0 and 100, inclusive.

The text to the right of the progress bar will be set to msg.

bar.ratio(n, d, msg=n + ' / ' + d)

Update the progress bar with a ratio, n/d.

The text to the right of the progress bar will be set to msg.

attributes

multi.charm

The charm object used internally to draw the progress bars.
