ProgressView#

ProgressView is a UI component that visually represents the progress of a task or operation. It can display both determinate (percentage complete) and indeterminate (progressing or not) types of progress. Additionally, it offers customizable progress view styles, including linear and circular representations.

You can use ProgressView to display the progress of various tasks, such as downloading a file, completing a process, or waiting for an event. The component can also show additional details like labels for the task description and current progress.

#Usage

#Component Declaration

The ProgressView component accepts two possible sets of properties, depending on whether you want to represent a time-based interval or a general progress task. These are specified through the ProgressViewProps type, which can be one of the following:

• TimerIntervalProgressViewProps
• NormalProgressViewProps

You can create a determinate progress view by binding the value and total properties to represent progress. Additionally, the component supports custom styling through the progressViewStyle property.

#Example: Timer-Based Progress View

<ProgressView
  timerFrom={startTimestamp}
  timerTo={endTimestamp}
  countsDown={true}
  label={<Text>Task in Progress</Text>}
  currentValueLabel={<Text>50% Complete</Text>}
/>

#Example: Normal Progress View

<ProgressView
  value={0.5}
  total={1.0}
  title="Loading"
  label={<Text>File Download</Text>}
  currentValueLabel={<Text>50% Complete</Text>}
/>

#Props

#TimerIntervalProgressViewProps

• timerFrom (number):
  The start timestamp (in milliseconds) that defines the beginning of the progress interval. This is used to calculate how much time has passed in the progress view.

• timerTo (number):
  The end timestamp (in milliseconds) that defines the completion of the progress interval. This marks the end point of the progress view.

• countsDown (boolean, optional, default: true):
  If set to true, the progress view counts down from the timerFrom to timerTo timestamp. If false, it will count up.

• label (VirtualNode, optional):
  A virtual node that provides additional context or description about the task in progress. This could be a text label or another type of view.

• currentValueLabel (VirtualNode, optional):
  A virtual node that describes the current value or progress of the task. For example, this could show the current percentage of completion.

#NormalProgressViewProps

• value (number, optional):
  The completed progress of the task so far. This is a floating-point number between 0.0 and total, representing the task's completion percentage. If nil, the progress is indeterminate.

• total (number, optional, default: 1.0):
  The total amount representing 100% completion of the task. The progress is considered complete when value equals total. Defaults to 1.0.

• title (string, optional):
  The title or name of the task that is being represented in the progress view.

• label (VirtualNode, optional):
  A virtual node that describes the task in progress, similar to the label property in TimerIntervalProgressViewProps.

• currentValueLabel (VirtualNode, optional):
  A virtual node that shows the current progress value of the task, similar to the currentValueLabel in TimerIntervalProgressViewProps.

#CommonViewProps

• progressViewStyle (ProgressViewStyle, optional):
  The style of the progress view. The available styles are:
  • automatic: The default style based on the current context of the view being styled.
  • circular: A circular gauge style to show progress. On platforms other than macOS, this may appear as an indeterminate indicator.
  • linear: A horizontal bar style indicating the task's progress.

#ProgressViewStyle

• linear: A progress view that visually indicates its progress using a horizontal bar.
• circular: A circular progress view that indicates the partial completion of an activity. On non-macOS platforms, this may be used for indeterminate progress.
• automatic: The default style, which automatically chooses the appropriate style based on the context.

#Notes

• ProgressView automatically adjusts its display based on the values provided in the TimerIntervalProgressViewProps or NormalProgressViewProps.
• If both value and total are provided, the progress will be determinate. If either of them is nil, the progress view will be indeterminate.
• You can use the label and currentValueLabel properties to customize the UI by passing any type of view, including text, images, or custom components.
• The progressViewStyle can be set to customize the visual style of the progress indicator. By default, it uses the automatic style, but you can choose linear or circular depending on your needs.

#Examples

#Determinate Progress (with value and total)

<ProgressView
  value={0.75}
  total={1.0}
  title="Task Progress"
  label={<Text>Task is 75% complete</Text>}
  currentValueLabel={<Text>75%</Text>}
  progressViewStyle="linear"
/>

#Indeterminate Progress (without value)

<ProgressView
  title="Loading"
  label={<Text>Loading file...</Text>}
  progressViewStyle="circular"
/>

#Conclusion

ProgressView is a flexible and easy-to-use UI component that supports both determinate and indeterminate progress states. It allows you to display progress through either a linear or circular visual representation. With the ability to customize progress details and UI style, ProgressView is an ideal choice for indicating task progress in various scenarios.
