# Progress updates for 'furrr' functions

The progressify package allows you to easily add progress reporting to sequential and parallel map-reduce code by piping to the `progressify()` function. Easy!

# TL;DR

    library(progressify)
    handlers(global = TRUE)
    library(furrr)
    plan(multisession)

    slow_fcn <- function(x) {
      Sys.sleep(0.1)  # emulate work
      x^2
    }

    xs <- 1:100
    ys <- xs |> future_map(slow_fcn) |> progressify()

# Introduction

This vignette demonstrates how to use this approach to add progress reporting to furrr functions such as `future_map()`, `future_map_dbl()`, and `future_walk()`.

The furrr `future_map()` function is commonly used to apply a function to the elements of a vector or a list in parallel. For example,

    library(furrr)
    plan(multisession)

    xs <- 1:100
    ys <- xs |> future_map(slow_fcn)

Here `future_map()` provides no feedback on how far it has progressed, but we can easily add progress reporting by using:

    library(furrr)
    plan(multisession)

    library(progressify)
    handlers(global = TRUE)

    xs <- 1:100
    ys <- xs |> future_map(slow_fcn) |> progressify()

Using the default progress handler, the progress reporting will appear as:

      |=====                    |  20%
