An `<sp-progress-bar>` is used to visually show the progression of a system operation such as downloading, uploading, processing, etc. By default, progress bars have a blue fill that shows the progress.

``zsh`
yarn add @spectrum-web-components/progress-bar
Import the side effectful registration of via:
`ts`
import '@spectrum-web-components/progress-bar/sp-progress-bar.js';
When looking to leverage the ProgressBar base class as a type and/or for extension purposes, do so via:
`ts`
import { ProgressBar } from '@spectrum-web-components/progress-bar';
Progress bars have the following parts:
- Label: Progress bars should have a label that gives context about the operation being performed. Use an ellipsis at the end of the label text to communicate that the process is in progress.
- Value label: Progress bars can have a value label that gives detailed information about the progress. This value label works alongside the label and should not be displayed if the label itself is not displayed. The value label is always placed above the track. Use the progress attribute to set the value label.

#### Variants
Static white
When a progress bar needs to be placed on top of a colored background, use the static white progress bar as signified by
[static-color="white"]. This progress bar uses a white opaque color no matter the background. Make sure the background offers enough contrast for the loader to be legible.`html
style="width: 240px; height: 160px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: space-around; background-color: var(--spectrum-seafoam-900);"
>
label="Loaded a large amount"
progress="77"
static-color="white"
>
Indeterminate
A progress bar can be either determinate or indeterminate as signified by
[indeterminate]. By default, loaders are determinate. Use a determinate loader when progress can be calculated against a specific goal (e.g., downloading a file of a known size). Use an indeterminate loader when progress is happening but the time or effort to completion can’t be determined (e.g., attempting to reconnect to a server).`html
style="width: 240px; height: 160px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: space-around;"
>
aria-label="Loaded an unclear amount"
indeterminate

The above
sp-progress-bar also leverages the aria-label attribute in place of the label attribute in ensure that the element is labelled correctly without that label appearing visibly in the UI.
Side label
A progress bar can be delivered with its labeling displayed above its visual indicator or to either side. Use the boolean
[side-label] attribute to define where this content should appear.`html
style="width: 240px; height: 160px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center; justify-content: space-around;"
>
side-label
label="Label Beside"
progress="23"
>
`
$3
An
sp-progress-bar element will register itself as a role="progressbar" element in the accessibility tree. Any value applied to the label attribute will be used both to visibly label the element and to set the aria-label attribute on the host.#### Include a label
Progress bars should have a label that gives context about the operation being performed. Use an ellipsis at the end of the label text to communicate that the process is in progress.
In rare cases where a visible label is not desired, context is sufficient and an accessibility expert has reviewed the design, be sure to include an
aria-label attribute or an aria-labelledby attribute to manually to ensure that the sp-progress-bar` correctly fulfills its responsibilities to visitors of your site of all abilities.
