Alive Progress Bars 🚀

Add Life to Your Terminal with Alive Progress Bar

If you’re tired of plain terminal output, here’s something fun! This demo uses the alive_progress library to add an interactive progress bar that visually updates as tasks progress. It’s perfect for those times when you want to bring some life to your terminal! 🎨

📝 What is Alive Progress Bar?

alive_progress creates an animated progress bar that adapts to task speed, making it great for visualizing longer tasks and improving UX in CLI apps. Plus, it’s open-source and easy to implement!

🛠️ Setting Up

1. Install alive_progress by running:

   pip install alive-progress

1. Run the Code

Here’s a simple example:

   from alive_progress import alive_bar
   import time

   for x in 1000, 1500, 700, 0:
       with alive_bar(x) as bar:
           for i in range(1000):
               time.sleep(.005)
               bar()

🎛️ How It Works

The code cycles through different task durations, with each one triggering a unique progress animation in the terminal:

• x: Sets the task duration.
• alive_bar(x): Initializes the progress bar.
• bar(): Updates it each loop cycle.

Try experimenting with these values to see different speeds in action!
