gowaybarplug
Go framework for custom Waybar plugins
Usage
First build a plugin that reports some interesting status:
package main
import (
"time"
waybar "github.com/lack/gowaybarplug"
)
main() {
updater := waybar.NewUpdater()
for {
status := waybar.Status{
Text: "Some text",
Toolbar: "Other text",
}
// Obviously do something more interesting than just static text in the status...
updater.Status <- &status
time.Sleep(15 * time.Second)
}
}
Then add it to your ~/.config/waybar/config:
{
// ... Other waybar config
"custom/mything": {
"format": "{} {icon}",
"return-type": "json",
"exec": "/path/to/my/new/plugin"
// etc
}
}
