In shiny: Web Application Framework for R

#' Reporting progress (object-oriented API)
#'
#' Reports progress to the user during long-running operations.
#'
#' This package exposes two distinct programming APIs for working with
#' progress. [withProgress()] and [setProgress()]
#' together provide a simple function-based interface, while the
#' `Progress` reference class provides an object-oriented API.
#'
#' Instantiating a `Progress` object causes a progress panel to be
#' created, and it will be displayed the first time the `set`
#' method is called. Calling `close` will cause the progress panel
#' to be removed.
#'
#' As of version 0.14, the progress indicators use Shiny's new notification API.
#' If you want to use the old styling (for example, you may have used customized
#' CSS), you can use `style="old"` each time you call
#' `Progress$new()`. If you don't want to set the style each time
#' `Progress$new` is called, you can instead call
#' [`shinyOptions(progress.style="old")`][shinyOptions] just once, inside the server
#' function.
#'
#' @param message A single-element character vector; the message to be
#'   displayed to the user, or `NULL` to hide the current message (if any).
#' @param detail A single-element character vector; the detail message to be
#'   displayed to the user, or `NULL` to hide the current detail message (if
#'   any). The detail message will be shown with a de-emphasized appearance
#'   relative to `message`.

#' Reporting progress (functional API)
#'
#' Reports progress to the user during long-running operations.
#'
#' This package exposes two distinct programming APIs for working with progress.
#' Using `withProgress` with `incProgress` or `setProgress`
#' provide a simple function-based interface, while the [Progress()]
#' reference class provides an object-oriented API.
#'
#' Use `withProgress` to wrap the scope of your work; doing so will cause a
#' new progress panel to be created, and it will be displayed the first time
#' `incProgress` or `setProgress` are called. When `withProgress`
#' exits, the corresponding progress panel will be removed.
#'
#' The `incProgress` function increments the status bar by a specified
#' amount, whereas the `setProgress` function sets it to a specific value,
#' and can also set the text displayed.
#'
#' Generally, `withProgress`/`incProgress`/`setProgress` should
#' be sufficient; the exception is if the work to be done is asynchronous (this
#' is not common) or otherwise cannot be encapsulated by a single scope. In that
#' case, you can use the `Progress` reference class.
#'
#' As of version 0.14, the progress indicators use Shiny's new notification API.
#' If you want to use the old styling (for example, you may have used customized
#' CSS), you can use `style="old"` each time you call
#' `withProgress()`. If you don't want to set the style each time
#' `withProgress` is called, you can instead call
#' [`shinyOptions(progress.style="old")`][shinyOptions] just once, inside the server
#' function.
#'
#' @param session The Shiny session object, as provided by `shinyServer` to
#'   the server function. The default is to automatically find the session by
#'   using the current reactive domain.
#' @param expr The work to be done. This expression should contain calls to
#'   [setProgress()] or [incProgress()].
#' @param min The value that represents the starting point of the progress bar.
#'   Must be less tham `max`. Default is 0.
#' @param max The value that represents the end of the progress bar. Must be
#'   greater than `min`. Default is 1.
#' @param amount For `incProgress`, the amount to increment the status bar.
#'   Default is 0.1.
#' @param env The environment in which `expr` should be evaluated.
#' @param quoted Whether `expr` is a quoted expression (this is not
#'   common).
#' @param message A single-element character vector; the message to be displayed
#'   to the user, or `NULL` to hide the current message (if any).
#' @param detail A single-element character vector; the detail message to be
#'   displayed to the user, or `NULL` to hide the current detail message
#'   (if any). The detail message will be shown with a de-emphasized appearance
#'   relative to `message`.
#' @param style Progress display style. If `"notification"` (the default),
#'   the progress indicator will show using Shiny's notification API. If
#'   `"old"`, use the same HTML and CSS used in Shiny 0.13.2 and below
#'   (this is for backward-compatibility).
#' @param value Single-element numeric vector; the value at which to set the
#'   progress bar, relative to `min` and `max`.
#'
#' @return The result of `expr`.
