spinoff

simple library for displaying spinners in the terminal

🔨 Install

Add as a dependency to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] spinoff = "0.7.0"

⚡ Usage

```rust use spinoff::{Spinner, spinners, Color}; use std::thread::sleep; use std::time::Duration;

let spinner = Spinner::new(spinners::Dots, "Loading...", Color::Blue); sleep(Duration::from_secs(3)); spinner.success("Done!"); ```

Update a spinner

```rust use spinoff::{Spinner, spinners, Color}; use std::thread::sleep; use std::time::Duration;

let mut spinner = Spinner::new(spinners::Aesthetic, "Loading...", Color::Red); sleep(Duration::fromsecs(3)); spinner.update(Spinners::Dots2, "Retrying...", None); sleep(Duration::fromsecs(3)); spinner.stop() ```

Specify an output stream

```rust use spinoff::{Spinner, spinners, Color, Streams}; use std::thread::sleep; use std::time::Duration;

let spinner = Spinner::newwithstream(spinners::Line, "Loading...", Color::Yellow, Streams::Stderr); sleep(Duration::fromsecs(3)); spinner.stopand_persist("📜", "Task done."); ```

💫 Spinners

Note: This has been introduced in version 0.7.0

All spinner variants are treated as features that can be enabled or disabled. By default, all of them are enabled for ease of use. To disable/enable variants, you will have to edit your cargo.toml file:

toml [dependencies] spinoff = { version = "0.7.0", features = ["dots, arc, line"] }

Creating your own spinner

You can create your own spinner using the spinner! macro:

```rust use spinoff::*; use std::thread::sleep; use std::time::Duration;

let frames = spinner!([">", ">>", ">>>"], 100); let sp = Spinner::new(frames, "Hello World!", None); sleep(Duration::from_millis(800)); sp.stop(); ```

❗Note for Windows Users

For colors to work properly, you need to add a few extra lines to your code: rust use colored::control control::enable_virtual_terminal(true).unwrap();

Other examples can be found in the documentation.
