Struct IndeterminateSpinner 

pub struct IndeterminateSpinner { /* private fields */ }

A spinner for operations with unknown total count or duration.

Shows activity with elapsed time, useful for:

• Establishing database connections
• Running complex queries
• Waiting for locks
• Initial data discovery

Rendering Modes

• Rich mode: Animated spinner with message and elapsed time
• Plain mode: Static [...] message (elapsed) format for agents
• JSON mode: Structured data for programmatic consumption

Example

use sqlmodel_console::renderables::{IndeterminateSpinner, SpinnerStyle};

let spinner = IndeterminateSpinner::new("Loading data")
    .style(SpinnerStyle::Braille);

// Can convert to progress bar when total becomes known
let progress = spinner.into_progress(1000);
