eta_formatted and duration_formatted number padding

[lain-d]

Would be great for the eta_formatted and duration_formatted values to be padded. Without padding it causes a lot of jumping of the bars when displaying single digit numbers.

not as default format - you can use a custom formatter so solve the issue.

additionally i can may add custom filter functions for all placeholder

Hi Andi, thanks for your response! I'm able to pad the percentage by using a simple function in the format

('00'+'{percentage}').slice(-2);

However, ETA_formatted and duration_formated come in as full string (like 24m5s or 5m45s, etc). And without a complex regex it would be difficult to format them with number pads.

An option when invoking a new cli-bar to optionally set a number of digits to pad numbers for formatted outputs would be amazing. If you accept pull requests on this great library I would be happy to try to help when I have some time.

It is quite easy to implement but i'm looking for a more generic solution (especially it should not break the existing behaviour)

i've just added two options to the master branch:

• autopadding (type: boolean) - add padding chars to formatted time and percentage to force fixed width (default: false) - Note: handled standard format functions!
• autopaddingChar (type: string) - the character sequence used for autopadding (default: " ") - Note: due to performance optimizations this value requies a length of 3 identical chars

additionally, you can use custom element format callbacks to override the default rendering:

• formatBar (type: function) - a custom bar formatter function which renders the bar-element (default: format-bar.js)
• formatTime (type: function) - a custom timer formatter function which renders the formatted time elements like eta_formatted and duration-formatted (default: format-time.js)
• formatValue (type: function) - a custom value formatter function which renders all other values (default: format-value.js)

Amazing Andi! I'll try it out. I'm using your library for a CLI batch video converter, and it's working great!!!!
