Introduction
What is BProgress?
BProgress is built on the foundation of NProgress, a widely used progress bar library. However, NProgress hasn't been maintained for over five years, and its JavaScript codebase is outdated. Over time, many developers have submitted issues and pull requests requesting new features and improvements, but these have remained unaddressed.
The name BProgress stands for "Bar Progress", reflecting its purpose while allowing for future improvements and a more flexible evolution of the library.
BProgress is a modern reimplementation of NProgress, fully rewritten in TypeScript with a clean and optimized syntax. It retains the simplicity of NProgress while introducing modern best practices, active maintenance, and new features that were missing from the original library. These improvements include better customization, enhanced performance, and additional options requested by the community.
Our goal with BProgress is to make progress bars easy to integrate across multiple frameworks. We're building dedicated packages to ensure seamless, efficient, and flexible progress bar integration, no matter what framework you're using. 🚀
Why is BProgress useful?
BProgress is a lightweight progress bar designed to visually indicate loading states in web applications. It is commonly used to display a smooth, animated progress bar during page transitions, data loading, or asynchronous operations.
It helps users understand that a new page or content is being loaded, making navigation more intuitive and preventing confusion during transitions.
