progress-estimator

Logs a progress bar and estimation for how long a Promise will take to complete. This library tracks previous durations in order to provide more accurate estimates over time.

Demo

Usage example

const createLogger = require('progress-estimator');

// All configuration keys are optional, but it's recommended to specify a storage location.
// Learn more about configuration options below.
const logger = createLogger({
  storagePath: join(__dirname, '.progress-estimator'),
});

async function run() {
  await logger(promiseOne, "This is a promise");
  await logger(
    promiseTwo,
    "This is another promise. I think it will take about 1 second",
    {
      estimate: 1000
    }
  );
}

API

`createLogger(optionalConfiguration)`

This method is the default package export. It creates and configures a logger function (documented below). The following configuration options are supported. (They apply only to the logger instance that's returned.)

name	type	Description
`logFunction`	Function	Custom logging function. Defaults to `log-update`. Must define `.done()` and `.clear()` methods.
`spinner`	object	Which spinner from the `cli-spinners` package to use. Defaults to `dots`.
`storagePath`	string	Where to record durations between runs. Defaults to `os.tmpdir()`.
`theme`	object	Custom `chalk` theme. Look to the default theme for a list of required keys.

`logger(promise, labelString, options)`

This method logs a progress bar and estimated duration for a promise. It requires at least two parameters– a Promise and a label (e.g. "Running tests"). The label is SHA1 hashed in order to uniquely identify the promise.

An optional third parameter can be provided as well with the following keys:

name	type	Description
`estimate`	Number	Estimated duration of promise. (This value is used initially, until a history of actual durations have been recorded.)
`id`	String	Uniquely identifies the promise. This value is needed if the label string is not guaranteed to be unique.
