TimeIt

TimeIt is a heavily adapted package of the straight up port of Yaap; a python venerable tqdm to .NET / CLR

The reason for this fork is that I wanted to use Yaap in a WPF project and needed the functionality of calculating the remaining time and rate of the progress. But I needed to be able to use it in a MVVM scenario, without console output, so I removed all console output and added a Action<string> Callback, which is called with the progress string.

This allows users of this package to use it in a MVVM scenario, where the progress is displayed in a GUI.

What does it do

Similar to Yaap, TimeIt can make .NET loops, IEnumerables and more show a smart progress meter.

The most dead simple way of starting with TimeIt is to add it via the nuget package and

using TimeIt;

void printCallback(string progressString)
{
    // Do something with the progress string, e.g. print it
    Debug.WriteLine(progressString);
}

foreach (var i in Enumerable.Range(0, 1000).TimeIt(callback: printCallback)) {
    Thread.Sleep(10);
}

Will print the progress bar on each line like this:

76%|████████████████████████████         | 7568/10000 [00:07s<00:10s, 229.00it/s]

In a MVVM scenario, TimeIt could be used like following:

using TimeIt;

// Some property that implements INotifyPropertyChanged and is bound to the GUI
public string ProgressString { get; set; }

void bindingCallback(string progressString)
{
    ProgressString = progressString;
    OnPropertyChanged(nameof(ProgressString));
}

foreach (var i in Enumerable.Range(0, 1000).TimeIt(callback: bindingCallback)) {
    Thread.Sleep(10);
}

What Else

Yaap has the following features:

• Easy wrapping of IEnumerable<T> with a Yaap progress bar
• Manual (non IEnumetable<T>) progress updates
• Low latency (~30ns) overhead imposed on the thread bumping the progress value
• Zero allocation (post construction) / Very little allocation during construction
• Elapsed time tracking
• Total Time Prediction
• Rate Prediction
• Metric Abbreviation for counts (K/M/G...)
• Nested / Multiple concurrent progress bars
• Butter Smooth Progress bars, by predicting the progress from the rate
• Configurable Appearance:
  • Fancy Unicode / ASCII bars
  • Prefix text
  • Turn selected elements on/off
• Constant Width Progress Bars

Examples

See the Demo project for a fancy demo that covers most of what Yaap can do and how it can be optimized

You can either run the demo project with dotnet run to run all the demos sequentially or invoke specific demos with dotnet run <n> where <n> is the number of the demo to run...
