Working Examples

These are simple examples. For more Indepth uses refer the API documentation hosted at pkg.go.dev

New Spinner

The following code creates a new spinner and uses it

package main

import (
  "time"
  "log"

 spinner "github.com/Yash-Handa/spinner"
)

func main() {
  sp, err := spinner.New(4, 50 * time.Millisecond, spinner.Cyan, spinner.Normal)
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }

  sp.SetPostText("  Loading Content")
  sp.SetDoneText("Hurray spinner worked\n")

  sp.Start()                       // the spinner starts
  time.Sleep(3 * time.Second)      // after 3 seconds
  sp.SetColor(spinner.Magenta, "") // use previous background color
  sp.SetInterval(100 * time.Millisecond)
  sp.SetPostText("  The color and speed Changed !!")
  time.Sleep(3 * time.Second)
  sp.Stop() // the spinner stops
}

Custom Spinner

The following code creates a custom spinner using user defined symbols.

package main

import (
  "time"
  "log"

  spinner "github.com/Yash-Handa/spinner"
)

func main() {
  symbols := []string{"N   ", "IN  ", "PIN ", "SPIN", " SPI", "  SP", "   S", "    "}
  sp, err := spinner.Custom(symbols, 0, spinner.Red, spinner.Normal)
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }

  sp.SetPostText("  A custom spinner")

  sp.Start()                  // the spinner starts
  time.Sleep(3 * time.Second) // after 3 seconds the color changes to lime green
  sp.SetColor("00e600", spinner.HexBgNormal)
  // spinner.HexBgNormal is used with Hex foreground to indicate that no background color to be used
  sp.SetPostText("  The color Changed !!")
  time.Sleep(3 * time.Second)
  sp.Stop() // the spinner stops
}
