Sphyg

'Sphygmos' is the Greek word for 'pulse'. Sphyg provides throbbers to indicate that your long-running command line program still has a pulse.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sphyg'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sphyg

Usage

Pass the message you want to display while your command is running and a block containing your long-running command to Sphyg.pulse.

> ::Sphyg.pulse('Please wait') { sleep }
Please wait ⡀ ⠄ ⠂ ⠁ ⠂ ⠄ # animated 

Options

You can also pass an options hash to ::Sphyg.pulse using the following keys:
