A progression handler for utils::txtProgressBar().

handler_txtprogressbar(

  ...
)

Additional arguments passed to utils::txtProgressBar() and make_progression_handler().

Appearance

Below are a few examples on how to use and customize this progress handler. In all cases, we use handlers(global = TRUE).

handlers("txtprogressbar")
y <- slow_sum(1:25)

handlers(handler_txtprogressbar(style = 1L))
y <- slow_sum(1:25)

handlers(handler_txtprogressbar(style = 3L))
y <- slow_sum(1:25)

handlers(handler_txtprogressbar(char = "#"))
y <- slow_sum(1:25)

handlers(handler_txtprogressbar(char = "<>"))
y <- slow_sum(1:25)

handlers(handler_txtprogressbar(char = cli::col_red(cli::symbol$heart)))
y <- slow_sum(1:25)

Examples

handlers("txtprogressbar")

with_progress({ y <- slow_sum(1:10) })
