Term::...:Quiet(3pm)

💖 Term::ProgressBar::Quiet(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to your new fave lil page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual. it's called Term::ProgressBar::Quiet and honestly? it's giving "quiet luxury" but for your terminal. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

Term::ProgressBar::Quiet — the way it provides a progress meter if run interactively. periodt. that's the whole personality. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, copy-paste ready, no cap:

use Term::ProgressBar::Quiet;
my @todo     = ( 'x' x 10 );
my $progress = Term::ProgressBar::Quiet->new(
    { name => 'Todo', count => scalar(@todo), ETA => 'linear' } );

my $i = 0;
foreach my $todo (@todo) {

    # do something with $todo
    $progress->update( ++$i );
}
$progress->message('All done');

like… look at her. new with a hashref, name, count, ETA => 'linear', then you just update( ++$i ) as you grind through your list, and finish with a lil message('All done'). iconic behavior fr fr. 🦋

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so Term::ProgressBar is literally a wonderful module for showing progress bars on the terminal — nobody's arguing with that, she ate. 🍓

and Term::ProgressBar::Quiet acts very much like that module when it is run interactively. same energy, same moves.

but — and this is the main character plot twist — when it is not run interactively (think: as a cron job, bestie, where nobody's watching the terminal) then it does not show the progress bar. silence. stealth mode. 🤫✨

so if you've ever had a cron job spam your inbox with a million progress-bar redraws, this module is your emotional support bestie. it knows when to be quiet. iykyk. 💜
