# Multi Progress Bar [](https://godoc.org/github.com/vbauerster/mpb) [](https://travis-ci.org/vbauerster/mpb)
**mpb** is a Go lib for rendering progress bars in terminal applications.
It is inspired by [uiprogress](https://github.com/gosuri/uiprogress) library,
but unlike the last one, implementation is mutex free, following Go's idiom:
> Don't communicate by sharing memory, share memory by communicating.
## Features
* __Multiple Bars__: mpb can render multiple progress bars that can be tracked concurrently
* __Cancellable__: cancel rendering goroutine at any time
* __Dynamic Addition__: Add additional progress bar at any time
* __Dynamic Removal__: Remove rendering progress bar at any time
* __Dynamic Sorting__: Sort bars as you wish
* __Dynamic Resize__: Resize bars on terminal width change
* __Custom Decorator Functions__: Add custom functions around the bar along with helper functions
* __Dynamic Decorator's Width Sync__: Sync width among decorator group (available since v2)
* __Predefined Decoratros__: Elapsed time, [Ewmaest](https://github.com/dgryski/trifles/tree/master/ewmaest) based ETA, Percentage, Bytes counter
## Installation
To get the package, execute:
```sh
go get gopkg.in/vbauerster/mpb.v1
```
```sh
go get gopkg.in/vbauerster/mpb.v2
```
## Usage
Following is the simplest use case:
```go
// Star mpb's rendering goroutine.
p := mpb.New()
// Set custom width for every bar, which mpb will render
// The default one in 70
p.SetWidth(80)
// Set custom format for every bar, the default one is "[=>-]"
p.Format("╢▌▌░╟")
// Set custom refresh rate, the default one is 100 ms
p.RefreshRate(120 * time.Millisecond)
// Add a bar. You're not limited to just one bar, add many if you need.
bar := p.AddBar(100).PrependName("Single Bar:", 0, 0).AppendPercentage(5, 0)
for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
bar.Incr(1) // increment progress bar
time.Sleep(time.Duration(rand.Intn(100)) * time.Millisecond)
}
// Don't forget to stop mpb's rendering goroutine
p.Stop()
// You cannot add bars after p.Stop() has been called
// p.AddBar(100) // will panic
```
Running [this](example/singleBar/main.go), will produce:

However **mpb** was designed with concurrency in mind. Each new bar renders in its
own goroutine, therefore adding multiple bars is easy and safe:
```go
var wg sync.WaitGroup
p := mpb.New()
wg.Add(3) // add wg delta
for i := 0; i < 3; i++ {
name := fmt.Sprintf("Bar#%d:", i)
bar := p.AddBar(100).
PrependName(name, len(name), 0).
// Prepend Percentage decorator and sync width
PrependPercentage(3, mpb.DwidthSync|mpb.DextraSpace).
// Append ETA and don't sync width
AppendETA(2, 0)
go func() {
defer wg.Done()
// you can p.AddBar() here, but ordering will be non deterministic
// if you still need p.AddBar() here and maintain ordering, use
// (*mpb.Progress).BeforeRenderFunc(f mpb.BeforeRender)
for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
bar.Incr(1)
time.Sleep(time.Duration(rand.Intn(100)) * time.Millisecond)
}
}()
}
wg.Wait() // Wait for goroutines to finish
p.Stop() // Stop mpb's rendering goroutine
```
