Examples

"time"
)
func main() {
s := spinner.New(spinner.CharSets[9], 100*time.Millisecond) // Build our new spinner

time.Sleep(4 * time.Second) // Run for some time to simulate work
s.Stop()
}
Update the character set and restart the spinner
s.UpdateCharSet(spinner.CharSets[1]) // Update spinner to use a different character set
s.Restart() // Restart the spinner
time.Sleep(4 * time.Second)
s.Stop()
Update spin speed and restart the spinner
s.UpdateSpeed(200 * time.Millisecond) // Update the speed the spinner spins at
s.Restart()
time.Sleep(4 * time.Second)
s.Stop()
Reverse the direction of the spinner
s.Reverse() // Reverse the direction the spinner is spinning
s.Restart()
time.Sleep(4 * time.Second)
s.Stop()
Provide your own spinner
(or send me an issue or pull request to add to the project)
someSet := []string{"+", "-"}
s := spinner.New(someSet, 100*time.Millisecond)
Prefix or append text to the spinner
s.Prefix = "prefixed text: " // Prefix text before the spinner
s.Suffix = " :appended text" // Append text after the spinner
Set or change the color of the spinner. Default color is white. The spinner will need to be restarted to pick up the change.
s.Color("red") // Set the spinner color to red
You can specify both the background and foreground color, as well as additional attributes such as bold
or underline
.
s.Color("red", "bold") // Set the spinner color to a bold red
To set the background to black, the foreground to a bold red:
s.Color("bgBlack", "bold", "fgRed")
Below is the full color and attribute list:
// default colors

Generate a sequence of numbers
setOfDigits := spinner.GenerateNumberSequence(25) // Generate a 25 digit string of numbers
s := spinner.New(setOfDigits, 100*time.Millisecond)
Get spinner status
fmt.Println(s.Active())
Unix pipe and redirect
Feature suggested and write up by dekz
Setting the Spinner Writer to Stderr helps show progress to the user, with the enhancement to chain, pipe or redirect the output.
This is the preferred method of setting a Writer at this time.
s := spinner.New(spinner.CharSets[11], 100*time.Millisecond, spinner.WithWriter(os.Stderr))
s.Suffix = " Encrypting data..."
s.Start()
// Encrypt the data into ciphertext
fmt.Println(os.Stdout, ciphertext)
> myprog encrypt "Secret text" > encrypted.txt
โฃฏ Encrypting data...
> cat encrypted.txt

Final String Output
Add additional output when the spinner/indicator has completed. The "final" output string can be multi-lined and will be written to wherever the io.Writer
has been configured for.
s := spinner.New(spinner.CharSets[9], 100*time.Millisecond)
s.FinalMSG = "Complete!\nNew line!\nAnother one!\n"
s.Start()
time.Sleep(4 * time.Second)
s.Stop()
Output
Complete!
New line!
Another one!
