customProgressCss : String [optional] (Sets your custom css for progressbar, for example "margin-top: 10px; width: 50%")

customCss : String [optional] (Sets your custom css for progressbar's container, for example "margin-top: 10px; width: 50%")

Usage

    //import the library
    const createProgressBar = require('electronjs-progressbar');

    //initialize progressbar
    const config = {
            progressBackground: "blue",
            type: "D",
            speed: 5
          };
          
    var progressbar = createProgressBar({
          config
          });

    /**
    * or inline initialize
    * var progressbar = createProgressBar({
    *       
    *    });
    **/
    
    //start progressbar
    progressbar.setProgressStatus();
    
    //complete progressbar using
    //progressbar.setProgressStatus("C"); or progressbar.setProgressStatus(progressbar.COMPLETED);
    //for a live simulation I would call this after 3000 milliseconds to actually show the progressbar loading
    
    setTimeout(function(){
      progressbar.setProgressStatus(progress.COMPLETED);
    }, 3000);
