By default, you get a single bar at the bottom of all your screens.
|
||||
To change that, you'll unsurprisingly need a config file.
|
||||
|
||||
This page details putting together the skeleton for your config to get you to a stage where you can start configuring modules.
|
||||
It may look long and overwhelming, but that is just because the bar supports a lot of scenarios!
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to see some ready-to-go config files check the [examples folder](https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/tree/master/examples)
|

and the example pages in the sidebar.

## 1. Create config file
|
||||
|
||||
The config file lives inside the `ironbar` directory in your XDG_CONFIG_DIR, which is usually `~/.config/ironbar`.

There are various places inside the configuration (other than the `script` module)
|
||||
that allow script input to dynamically set values.
|
||||
|
||||
Scripts are passed to `sh -c`.
|
||||
|
||||
Two types of scripts exist: polling and watching:
|
||||
|
||||
- Polling scripts will run and wait for exit.
|
||||
Normally they will repeat this at an interval, hence the name, although in some cases they may only run on a user
|
||||
event.
|
||||
If the script exited code 0, the `stdout` will be used. Otherwise, `stderr` will be printed to the log.
|
||||
- Watching scripts start a long-running process. Every time the process writes to `stdout`, the last line is captured
|
||||
and used.
|
||||
|
||||
One should prefer to use watch-mode where possible, as it removes the overhead of regularly spawning processes.
|
||||
That said, there are some cases which only support polling. These are indicated by `Script [polling]` as the option
|
||||
type.
|
||||
|
||||
## Writing script configs
|
||||
|
||||
There are two available config formats for scripts, shorthand as a string, or longhand as an object.
|
||||
Shorthand can be used in all cases, but there are some cases (such as embedding scripts inside strings) where longhand
|
||||
cannot be used.
|
||||
|
||||
In both formats, `mode` is one of `poll` or `watch` and `interval` is the number of milliseconds to wait between
|
||||
spawning the script.
|
||||
|
||||
Both `mode` and `interval` are optional and can be excluded to fall back to their defaults of `poll` and `5000`
|
||||
respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
### Shorthand (string)
|
||||
|
||||
Shorthand scripts should be written in the format:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mode:interval:script
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
poll:5000:uptime -p | cut -d ' ' -f2-
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Longhand (object)
|
||||
|
||||
An object consisting of the `cmd` key and optionally the `mode` and/or `interval` keys.
