<p>The <strong>cli</strong> package is used for progress reporting by several
packages, notably tidyverse packages. For instance, in <strong>purrr</strong>, you
can do:</p>
<pre><code class="language-r">y <- purrr::map(1:100, \(x) Sys.sleep(0.1), .progress = TRUE)
</code></pre>
<p>to report on progress via the <strong>cli</strong> package as <code>map()</code> is iterating
over the elements. Now, instead of using the default, built-in
<strong>cli</strong> progress bar, we can customize <strong>cli</strong> to report on progress
via <strong><a href="https://progressr.futureverse.org">progressr</a></strong> instead. To do this, set R option
<code>cli.progress_handlers</code> as:</p>
<pre><code class="language-r">options(cli.progress_handlers = "progressr")
</code></pre>
<p>With this option set, <strong>cli</strong> will now report on progress according to
your <code>progressr::handlers()</code> settings. For example, with:</p>
<pre><code class="language-r">progressr::handlers(c("beepr", "rstudio"))
</code></pre>
<p>will report on progress using <strong>beepr</strong> and the RStudio Console
progress panel.</p>
<p>To make <strong>cli</strong> report via <strong>progressr</strong> in all your R session, set
the above R option in your <code>~/.Rprofile</code> startup file, e.g.</p>
<pre><code class="language-r">if (requireNamespace("progressr", quietly = TRUE)) {
options(cli.progress_handlers = "progressr")
}
</code></pre>
<p><em>Note:</em> A <strong>cli</strong> progress bar can have a "name", which can be
specfied in <strong>purrr</strong> function via argument <code>.progress</code>,
e.g. <code>.progress = "processing"</code>. This name is then displayed in front
of the progress bar. However, because the <strong>progressr</strong> framework
does not have a concept of progress "name", they are silently ignored
when using <code>options(cli.progress_handlers = "progressr")</code>.</p>
