You spin me right round

You Spin Me Right Round (ysmrr) is a package that provides simple multi-line compatible spinners for Go applications.

Installing

go get -u github.com/chelnak/ysmrr

Usage

SpinnerManager

A SpinnerManager is a collection of spinners that share a common configuration.

They can be created as follows:

sm := ysmrr.NewSpinnerManager()

The NewSpinnerManager method also accepts multiple options. For example, you can change the animation and the color of the spinner:

sm := ysmrr.NewSpinnerManager(
    ysmrr.WithAnimation(animations.Pipe),
    ysmrr.WithSpinnerColor(colors.FgHiBlue),
)

A SpinnerManager is also responsible for starting and stopping a group of spinners.

Starting a spinner group

sm.Start()

Stopping a spinner group

sm.Stop()

Spinners

SpinnerManagers are great but pretty useless on their own. You need to add at least one spinner.

Adding a new spinner is as simple as using the AddSpinner method on a SpinnerManager instance.

It expects a string that will be displayed as the initial message of a spinner.

spinner := sm.AddSpinner("Downloading...")

AddSpinner will return a spinner instance that you can use to control the spinner.

Updating the message

Thoughout the lifecycle of a spinner, you can update the message of the spinner.

spinner.UpdateMessage("Downloading...")

Spinner state

A spinner can be set to either Complete or Error to indicate the current state of a task.

spinner.Complete()

spinner.Error()

Example

To tie everything together, here is an example that shows how to build a basic spinner app.

// Create a new spinner manager
sm := ysmrr.NewSpinnerManager()

// Add a spinner
mySpinner := sm.AddSpinner("Spinny things...")

// Start the spinners that have been added to the group
sm.Start()

// Set the spinner to complete
time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
mySpinner.Complete()

// Stop the spinners in the group
time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
sm.Stop()

Inspiration

Ysmrr was inspired by the following projects:

• github.com/briandowns/spinner
• github.com/theckman/yacspin

It also uses github.com/fatih/color for the underlying color system and github.com/mattn/go-colorable for Windows support.

	WithSpinnerColor(colors.Red),
