README
kiwmi
A fully programmable Wayland Compositor
kiwmi is a work-in-progress extensive user-configurable Wayland Compositor.
kiwmi specifically does not enforce any logic, allowing for the creation of Lua-scripted behaviors, making arduous tasks such as modal window management become a breeze.
New users should be aware of the steep learning curve present, however this will be reduced as the project matures.

## Documentation
Documentation for the API can be found in [lua_docs.md](lua_docs.md).
Additionally `kiwmic` can be used to send a single lua string to kiwmi for direct evaluation.
For example:
```
$ kiwmic 'return kiwmi:focused_view():id()'
94036737803088.0
```
## Getting Started
The dependencies required are:
- [wlroots](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots)
- lua or luajit
- pixman
- meson (build)
- ninja (build)
- git (build, optional)
### Building
After cloning/downloading the project and ensuring all dependencies are installed, building is as easy as running
```
$ meson build
$ ninja -C build
```
If you plan to use luajit instead, use the following commands instead.
```
$ meson -Dlua-pkg=luajit build
$ ninja -C build
```
Installing is accomplished with the following command:
```
# ninja -C build install
```
