## π¨ Install
Add as a dependency to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
spinoff = "0.7.0"
```
## β‘ Usage
```rust
use spinoff::{Spinner, spinners, Color};
use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;
let spinner = Spinner::new(spinners::Dots, "Loading...", Color::Blue);
sleep(Duration::from_secs(3));
spinner.success("Done!");
```
### Update a spinner
```rust
use spinoff::{Spinner, spinners, Color};
use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;
let mut spinner = Spinner::new(spinners::Aesthetic, "Loading...", Color::Red);
sleep(Duration::from_secs(3));
spinner.update(Spinners::Dots2, "Retrying...", None);
sleep(Duration::from_secs(3));
spinner.stop()
```
### Specify an output stream
```rust
use spinoff::{Spinner, spinners, Color, Streams};
use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;
let spinner = Spinner::new_with_stream(spinners::Line, "Loading...", Color::Yellow, Streams::Stderr);
sleep(Duration::from_secs(3));
spinner.stop_and_persist("π", "Task done.");
```
## π« Spinners
*Note: This has been introduced in version 0.7.0*
All spinner variants are treated as features that can be enabled or disabled. By default, all of them are enabled for ease of use.
To disable/enable variants, you will have to edit your `cargo.toml` file:
```toml
[dependencies]
spinoff = { version = "0.7.0", features = ["dots, arc, line"] }
```
### Creating your own spinner
You can create your own spinner using the `spinner!` macro:
```rust
use spinoff::*;
use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;
let frames = spinner!([">", ">>", ">>>"], 100);
let sp = Spinner::new(frames, "Hello World!", None);
sleep(Duration::from_millis(800));
sp.stop();
```
## βNote for Windows Users
For colors to work properly, you need to add a few extra lines to your code:
```rust
use colored::control
control::enable_virtual_terminal(true).unwrap();
```
Other examples can be found in the [documentation](https://docs.rs/spinoff/latest/spinoff/).
