libloader

A simple, easy to use library to make simultaneous progress, loading bars in c++

Installation

1. Open a terminal and clone library wherever you desire and move there

   $ git clone https://github.com/keybraker/libloader.git && cd libloader

2. Create library

   1. for use in current direcotry

   $ make lib

   2. for use globally (moves to root path so you can access it from anywhere)

   $ make lib-root

Usage

Linking library to you projects is done in two easy steps

1. if library is in custom path

   1. include libloader inside a cpp file you are using it:

   #include "custom_path/libloader.h"

   2. link loader library at compile time:

   $ g++ -Wall -o loading src/exp_loading_bar.cpp -L. -lloader

2. if library is in root path

   1. include libloader inside a cpp file you are using it:

   #include <libloader.h>

   2. ilink loader library at compile time:

   $ g++ -Wall -o loading src/exp_loading_bar.cpp -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lloader

note that -L is the linking flag for L_ibraries_ and what follows is the path to find it

Demo

1. exp_loading_bar.cpp

   $ make loading

Loading bar is a bar with moving dots representing progress. Percentage with elapsed time is shown and dynamically changed from seconds to minutes.

2. exp_progress_bar.cpp

   $ make progress

   Progress bar is a bar with '=' characters increasing as process nears completion. Percentage with elapsed time is shown and dynamically changed from seconds to minutes.

3. exp_pingpong_bar.cpp

   $ make pingpong

   Ping Pong is a table indicating processing but not percentage of completion. Percentage with elapsed time is shown and dynamically changed from seconds to minutes.
