[](https://godoc.org/github.com/schollz/progressbar/v3)A very simple thread-safe progress bar which should work on every OS without problems. I needed a progressbar for [croc](https://github.com/schollz/croc) and everything I tried had problems, so I made another one. In order to be OS agnostic I do not plan to support [multi-line outputs](https://github.com/schollz/progressbar/issues/6).
## Install
```
go get -u github.com/schollz/progressbar/v3
```## Usage
### Basic usage
```golang
bar := progressbar.Default(100)
for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
bar.Add(1)
time.Sleep(40 * time.Millisecond)
}
```which looks like:

### I/O operations
The `progressbar` implements an `io.Writer` so it can automatically detect the number of bytes written to a stream, so you can use it as a progressbar for an `io.Reader`.
```golang
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://dl.google.com/go/go1.14.2.src.tar.gz", nil)
resp, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)
defer resp.Body.Close()f, _ := os.OpenFile("go1.14.2.src.tar.gz", os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY, 0644)
defer f.Close()bar := progressbar.DefaultBytes(
resp.ContentLength,
"downloading",
)
io.Copy(io.MultiWriter(f, bar), resp.Body)
```which looks like:

### Progress bar with unknown length
A progressbar with unknown length is a spinner. Any bar with -1 length will automatically convert it to a spinner with a customizable spinner type. For example, the above code can be run and set the `resp.ContentLength` to `-1`.
which looks like:

### Customization
There is a lot of customization that you can do - change the writer, the color, the width, description, theme, etc. See [all the options](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/schollz/progressbar/v3?tab=doc#Option).
```golang
bar := progressbar.NewOptions(1000,
progressbar.OptionSetWriter(ansi.NewAnsiStdout()), //you should install "github.com/k0kubun/go-ansi"
progressbar.OptionEnableColorCodes(true),
progressbar.OptionShowBytes(true),
progressbar.OptionSetWidth(15),
progressbar.OptionSetDescription("[cyan][1/3][reset] Writing moshable file..."),
progressbar.OptionSetTheme(progressbar.Theme{
Saucer: "[green]=[reset]",
SaucerHead: "[green]>[reset]",
SaucerPadding: " ",
BarStart: "[",
BarEnd: "]",
}))
for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
bar.Add(1)
time.Sleep(5 * time.Millisecond)
}
```which looks like:
