Spinners++

C++ implementation of an elegant terminal spinner. This is a header only project that you can include in your project to show progress spinners on an ANSI compatible terminal.

Using

To this this just download and include the header in your project. This uses std::thread so make sure to link the proper library. On Linux you can use -lpthread when building your project

Example

#include "spinners.hpp"

int main() {
  jms::Spinner s("Doing something cool", jms::classic);
  s.start();

  //Do work
  s.finish(jms::FinishedState::SUCCESS, "Complete!");

  //Make my own animation
  jms::Animation a{80, {"[.....]","[O....]","[.O...]","[..O..]","[...O.]","[....O]"}};
  s.setAnimation(a);
  s.setText("A custom animation");
  s.start();

  this_thread::sleep_for(3s);
  s.finish(jms::FinishedState::SUCCESS, "Custom animation complete");

  return 0;
}
