Laravel - Artisan Console - Progress Bars

For long running tasks, it can be helpful to show a progress bar that informs users how complete the task is. Using the withProgressBar method, Laravel will display a progress bar and advance its progress for each iteration over a given iterable value:

    
    use App\Models\User;
    
    $users = $this->withProgressBar(User::all(), function ($user) {
        $this->performTask($user);
    });
	

Sometimes, you may need more manual control over how a progress bar is advanced. First, define the total number of steps the process will iterate through. Then, advance the progress bar after processing each item:

    
    $users = App\Models\User::all();
    
    $bar = $this->output->createProgressBar(count($users));
    
    $bar->start();
    
    foreach ($users as $user) {
        $this->performTask($user);
    
        $bar->advance();
    }
    
    $bar->finish();
