## Getting Started

### Installation

#### Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)

Add plugin to the list of [TPM](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm) plugins in `.tmux.conf`:

```sh
set -g @plugin 'maxrodrigo/tmux-nordvpn'
```

Hit `prefix + I` to fetch the plugin and source it.

If format strings are added to `status-right`, they should now be visible.

#### Manual Installation

Clone the repository:

```sh
git clone https://github.com/maxrodrigo/tmux-nordvpn ~/.tmux/tmux-nordvpn
```

Add this line to the bottom of `.tmux.conf`:

```txt
run-shell ~/.tmux/tmux-nordvpn/nordvpn.tmux
```

Reload Tmux environment:

```sh
tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
```

If format strings are added to `status-right`, they should now be visible.

### Requirements

The plugin relays on the NordVPN native application to pull the current status.
The command line tool is required.

NordVPN setup tutorials: https://support.nordvpn.com/FAQ/Setup-tutorials/

## Usage

Add any of the [supported format strings](#supported-format-strings) to `status-right` or `status-left`.

```sh
set -g status-right 'NordVPN: #{nordvpn_status_color}#{nordvpn_status} (#{nordvpn_country})'
```

### Supported Format Strings

- `#{nordvpn_status}` - connection status.
- `#{nordvpn_server}` - current server.
- `#{nordvpn_country}` - current connection country.
- `#{nordvpn_city}` - current connection city.
- `#{nordvpn_ip}` - current connection IP address.
- `#{nordvpn_status_color}` - change foreground and background color based on the VPN status.

### Options

Here are all available options with their default values.

```sh
@nordvpn_exclude_server_domain true # remove "nordvpn.com" from the server name.

@nordvpn_connected_text "Connected" # text to display when connected
@nordvpn_connecting_text "Connecting" # text to display when connecting
@nordvpn_disconnected_text "Disconnected" # text to display when disconnected

@nordvpn_connected_fg_color "green" # foreground color when connected.
@nordvpn_connecting_fg_color "yellow" # foreground color when connecting.
@nordvpn_disconnected_fg_color "red" # foreground color when disconnected.

@nordvpn_connected_bg_color "" # background color when connected.
@nordvpn_connecting_bg_color "" # background color when connecting.
@nordvpn_disconnected_bg_color "" # background color when disconnected.
```

### Examples

```sh
# .tmux.conf
set -g @nordvpn_connected_text "c"
set -g @nordvpn_connecting_text "…"
set -g @nordvpn_disconnected_text "d"

set -g status-left "#[fg=blue]vpn: #{nordvpn_status_color}#{nordvpn_status} #[fg=cyan]#{nordvpn_server}"
```

```sh
# .tmux.conf
set -g @nordvpn_connected_text "Connected to"
set -g @nordvpn_connecting_text "Connecting to"

set -g status-left "NordVPN #{nordvpn_status_color}#{nordvpn_status} #{nordvpn_city}, #{nordvpn_country} [#{nordvpn_ip}]"
```

## Status Update Interval

Status update won't be instant. The duration depends on the `status-interval` Tmux option. You can set `status-interval` to a low number to make the refresh faster.

```sh
set -g status-interval 5
```
