NAME

Progress::Any::Output::TermSpin - Output progress to terminal as spinning cursor

VERSION

This document describes version 0.01 of Progress::Any::Output::TermSpin (from Perl distribution Progress-Any-Output-TermSpin), released on 2015-01-28.

SYNOPSIS

 use Progress::Any::Output;

 # use default options
 Progress::Any::Output->set('TermSpin');

 # set options
 Progress::Any::Output->set('TermSpin',
                            style=>"bubble", fh=>\*STDOUT, speed=>0.2, show_delay=>5);

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

new(%args) => obj

Instantiate. Usually called through Progress::Any::Output->set("TermSpin", %args).

Known arguments:

  • style => str (default: 'line')

    Available styles:

    • bubble

      .oOo.

    • line

      |/-\.

    • pie_utf8

      ○◔◑◕●.

  • fh => handle (default: \*STDOUT)

    Instead of the default STDOUT, you can direct the output to another filehandle.

  • speed => float (default: 0.2)

  • show_delay => int

    If set, will delay showing the spinning cursor until the specified number of seconds. This can be used to create, e.g. a CLI application that is relatively not chatty but will display progress after several seconds of seeming inactivity.

keep_delay_showing()

Can be called to reset the timer that counts down to show spinning cursor when show_delay is defined. For example, if show_delay is 5 seconds and two seconds have passed, it should've been 3 seconds before spinning cursor is shown in the next update(). However, if you call this method, it will be 5 seconds again before showing.
