Laravel Console Spinner

Laravel Console Spinner is a custom spinning progress bar for Laravel inspired by the Symfony Console Spinner:

This package is specifically for Laravel artisan console commands and includes a few macros to make custom loading spinners. Using the spinner within an Artisan is simple and is compatible with the Symfony ProgressBar instance:

public function handle()
{
// $spinner is a ProgressBar instance
$spinner = $this->spinner($users->count());
$spinner->setMessage('Loading...');
$spinner->start();
 
foreach ($users as $user) {
// Do your stuff...
 
$spinner->advance();
}
$spinner->finish();
}

Additionally, you can use the withSpinner() method which gives you an iterable:

$this->withSpinner(User::all(), function($user) {
// Do your stuff with $user
}, 'Loading...');

You can learn more about this package, get full installation instructions, and view the source code on GitHub.
