Feature: Add support for progress bar when compiling automated reports

[ashirwad]

Hey @choonghyunryu,

Thanks for this excellent package! I am using dlookr more and more for EDA and really like the automated web reports that I can quickly generate with dlookr. One thing that I feel could be worth adding is the support for progress bars! When I work with wide data sets (few hundred columns) the EDA reports often take hours to compile and until the compilation is done I have no clue how much longer it's going to take. Adding progress bars will help solve that issue. 😊

Thanks!

Hi @ashirwad
Thanks for the feedback.

When the report creation job runs, the following progress is output to the console.

  |.................................................................              |  52%
  ordinary text without R code

  |...................................................................            |  54%
label: unnamed-chunk-6 (with options) 
List of 1
 $ results: chr "asis"

  |.....................................................................          |  56%
  ordinary text without R code

  |.......................................................................        |  57%
label: compare-category (with options) 
List of 1
 $ results: chr "asis"

The percentage on the right is the progress.

The information about the chunks on the left is not helpful to the user, but the percentages on the right seem to predict the end of the task.

Is this information not enough?

Thank you so much!
