## Introduction
lowbar is a blazing fast module with zero dependencies for displaying a progress bar in the terminal. It has a low number of features and a simple codebase, hence the name lowbar.

<br />
<br />

## Installation 
Install the latest stable release:
```
pip install lowbar
```
<br />

Or the development version (Undocumented):
```
pip install git+https://github.com/AnnikaV9/lowbar
```

<br />
<br />

## Usage

Once you have lowbar installed, you can import it like any other module:
```python3
import lowbar
```

<br />

And initialize the bar:
```python3
bar = lowbar.LowBar()
```

<br />

To make the bar visible and set at 0%:
```python3
bar.new()
```

<br />

After completing some tasks, we can increase the bar's completion percentage:
```python3
bar.update(20)
```

<br />

The above function will immediately move the bar to 20%. To use a more smoother but slower animation:
```python3
bar.update_smooth(40)
```
***Note:** Since version 1.1.4, `update_smooth()` is no-longer fully blocking. It will run in a separate thread, so your program will continue it's execution while the bar is animating. However, calling another lowbar function during the animation will block the main thread to prevent visual glitches. To avoid this block, make sure to call `log()` before `update_smooth()`, not after. See issue [#5](https://github.com/AnnikaV9/lowbar/issues/5)*

<br />

Using `print()` or other similar functions will push the bar up, which doesn't look nice. To log messages without affecting the bar:
```python3
bar.log("Hello World!")
```

<br />

And finally, to clear the bar completely:
```python3
bar.clear()
```

<br />

Here's an example usage of the bar:
```python3
bar = lowbar.LowBar()

completion = 0
bar.new()
for i in range(10):
    time.sleep(2) # This would be replaced with an actual task
    bar.log(f"Task {i+1} completed")
    completion += 10
    bar.update_smooth(completion)
bar.clear()

print("Tasks complete!")
```

<br />

You don't even need a loop:
```python3
bar = lowbar.LowBar()

bar.new()
time.sleep(1)
bar.update_smooth(10)
time.sleep(2)
bar.update_smooth(40)
time.sleep(2)
bar.update_smooth(100)
bar.clear()

print("Tasks complete!")
```

<br />

The bar can also be used with a context manager. It will automatically run `new()` at the start and `clear()` when exiting:
```python3
with lowbar.LowBar() as bar:
    time.sleep(1)
    bar.update_smooth(10)
    time.sleep(3)
    bar.update_smooth(100)

print("Tasks complete!")
```

<br />

To make things *even* more simpler, you can wrap lowbar around an interable. It will automatically calculate how much to increase the percentage by every loop:
```python3
for i in lowbar.LowBar(range(100)):
    time.sleep(0.5)
```

<br />

lowbar will use `update()` by default when working with iterables. If you're only going to loop a few times, you can force lowbar to use `update_smooth()`:
```python3
for i in lowbar.LowBar(range(6), smooth_iter=True):
    time.sleep(1)
```
***Note:** You can't use `log()` when using lowbar with an iterable.*

<br />

You can change the load fill and blank fill chars as well:
```python3
bar = lowbar.LowBar(bar_load_fill="O", bar_blank_fill=".")
```

<br />
