+# ProgressBar
+
+The ProgressBar component represents progress. See examples/progress.js for an example app.
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+const {h, Text, ProgressBar} = require('ink');
+
+<ProgressBar
+	char="x"
+	progress={0.5}
+	left={5}
+	right={0}
+	green
+/>
+```
+
+## Props
+
+### character
+
+The character to use for each item in the ProgressBar. Defaults to █ (block).
+
+### progress
+
+The percentage (between 0 and 1) of progress in the ProgressBar.
+
+### left/right
+
+The number of characters to subtract from each side of the ProgressBar. examples/progress.js demonstrates this. Commonly used if you want text before/after the progress bar on the same line.
+
+
+### {color}
+
+Pass any chalk colors (e.g. `green`, `bgBlue`), similar to Text.
+
+### ...
+
+Any other props are passed to Text as-is.
+
