Remove spinner once LSP is completed

[ryanmsnyder]

Thanks for the plugin - really like it so far.

Is it possible to remove the spinner once an lsp process is complete? I have my decay set to 3000, which is quite a bit longer than the default. However, even though a process is complete, the spinner is still active. I'd like achieve a format where the spinner is replaced by a check mark once the process is complete, similar to how fidget.nvim works.

emmmm, I think it's possible, just a little bit complicated to configure.

You will need 2 steps:

1. In series_format, you should return an object.

   series_format = function(title, message, percentage, done)
   
     -- same with default
     ...
   
     return {msg=table.concat(builder, " "), done=done}
   end

   This is for returning an extra value done, we will use it in second step.

2. In client_format, you can use below code:

   client_format = function(client_name, spinner, series_messages)
     if #series_messages == 0 then
       return nil
     end
     local builder = {}
     for _, series in ipairs(series_messages) do
       if series.done then
         spinner = '✓' -- replace your check mark
       end
       table.insert(builder, series.msg)
     end
     return "[" .. client_name .. "] " .. spinner .. " " .. table.concat(
       builder,
       ", "
     )
    end,

Note: I write this without any testing, please try to make it correct.

in current design, the spinng icon is on client level. e.g. a lsp client only have 1 spining icon.

when you have multiple series messages, you need to decide whether to show the check mark:

1. show check mark when all the series messages are done.
2. show check mark when any of the series message is done.

it's your choice.

could you share your final configs? I can add your use case to the advanced configs.
