# Automatic Progress Bar
|
|
|
|
jsPsych can show a progress bar at the top of the experiment page indicating the participant's overall completion progress. The progress bar is rendered outside the jsPsych display element, and it requires the `jspsych.css` file to be loaded on the page. As of version 6.0, the progress bar looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To show the progress bar, set the `show_progress_bar` option in `initJsPsych` to `true`:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const jsPsych = initJsPsych({
|
|
show_progress_bar: true
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The progress bar automatically updates after every trial.
|
|
|
|
## Manual Control
|
|
|
|
The progress bar can also be manually controlled by setting `jsPsych.progressBar.progress`. The value of `jsPsych.progressBar.progress` should be a number between 0 and 1. For example, to set the progress bar to 85% full, you would do this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const trial = {
|
|
type: jsPsychHtmlKeyboardResponse,
|
|
stimulus: 'Almost done...',
|
|
on_finish: function(){
|
|
jsPsych.progressBar.progress = 0.85; // set progress bar to 85% full.
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also get the current value of the progress bar as `jsPsych.progressBar.progress`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const proportion_complete = jsPsych.progressBar.progress;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are going to use manual progress bar control, you may want to disable the automatic progress bar updates by setting the `auto_update_progress_bar` property in `initJsPsych()` to `false`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const jsPsych = initJsPsych({
|
|
show_progress_bar: true,
|
|
auto_update_progress_bar: false
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here's a complete example showing how to use these functions and `initJsPsych()` settings to manually update the progress bar:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const jsPsych = initJsPsych({
|
|
show_progress_bar: true,
|
|
auto_update_progress_bar: false
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
const n_trials = 5;
|
|
|
|
const start = {
|
|
type: jsPsychHtmlKeyboardResponse,
|
|
stimulus: 'Press any key to start!',
|
|
on_start: function() {
|
|
// set progress bar to 0 at the start of experiment
|
|
jsPsych.progressBar.progress = 0
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
const trial = {
|
|
type: jsPsychHtmlKeyboardResponse,
|
|
stimulus: 'This is a trial!',
|
|
on_finish: function() {
|
|
// at the end of each trial, update the progress bar
|
|
// based on the current value and the proportion to update for each trial
|
|
var curr_progress_bar_value = jsPsych.progressBar.progress;
|
|
jsPsych.progressBar.progress = curr_progress_bar_value + (1/n_trials)
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
const trials = {
|
|
timeline: [trial],
|
|
repetitions: n_trials
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
const done = {
|
|
type: jsPsychHtmlKeyboardResponse,
|
|
stimulus: 'Done!'
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
jsPsych.run([start, trials, done]);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Custom Text
|
|
|
|
By default, jsPsych adds the text "Completion Progress" to the left of the progress bar. You can specify custom text using the `message_progress_bar` parameter in `initJsPsych`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// support for different spoken languages
|
|
const jsPsych = initJsPsych({
|
|
show_progress_bar: true,
|
|
message_progress_bar: 'Porcentaje completo'
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// no message
|
|
const jsPsych = initJsPsych({
|
|
show_progress_bar: true,
|
|
message_progress_bar: ''
|
|
});
|
|
``` |
