adhocore/chin

A GO lang command line tool to show a spinner as you wait for some long running jobs to finish.

This is a simple project but carries a tremendous value to me [❤️].

Usage

Install chin:

go get -u github.com/adhocore/chin

Use in Go code with WaitGroup:

var wg sync.WaitGroup

s := chin.New().WithWait(&wg)
go s.Start()

// invoke some long running task
// (you can also call s.Stop() from that task)
longTask(&wg)

s.Stop()
wg.Wait()

Refer example for more (there is also one without waitgroup).

To run the examples: go run examples/main.go
