README

          
* GoSway

Golang [[https://github.com/swaywm/sway][Sway]] IPC bindings.

* Install

#+begin_src

go get github.com/Difrex/gosway/ipc

#+end_src

* Usage

Initialize an new connection to the Sway socket

#+begin_src go

import (

	"github.com/Difrex/gosway/ipc"

)

sc, err := ipc.NewSwayConnection()

if err != nil {

    panic(err)

}

#+end_src

*** Workspaces

Workspaces list

#+begin_src go

ws, err := sc.GetWorkspaces()

if err != nil {

    panic(err)

}

for _, workspace := range ws {

    fmt.Println(workspace.Name)

}

#+end_src

Get focused workspace

#+begin_src go

ws, err := sc.GetFocusedWorkspace()

if err != nil {

    panic(err)

}

#+end_src

Get focused workspace windows

#+begin_src go

windows, err := sc.GetFocusedWorkspaceWindows()

if err != nil {

    panic(err)

}

for _, window := range windows {

    fmt.Println(window.Name)

}

#+end_src

* Events subscribe

You needs a connection for sending command to the Sway and another one for events listener.

#+begin_src go

commandConn, err := ipc.NewSwayConnection()

if err != nil {

    panic(err)

}

subCon, err := ipc.NewSwayConnection()

if err != nil {

    panic(err)

}

// Subscribe only to the window related events

_, err = subCon.SendCommand(ipc.IPC_SUBSCRIBE, `["window"]`)

if err != nil {

	panic(err)

}

// Listen for the events

s := subCon.Subscribe()

defer s.Close()

for {

    select {

	case event := <-s.Events:

	    if event.Change == "new" {

            commandConn.RunSwayCommand(fmt.Sprintf("[con_id=%d] split h", event.Container.ID))

            commandConn.RunSwayCommand(fmt.Sprintf("[con_id=%d] move down", event.Container.ID))

        }

    case err := <-s.Errors:

		fmt.Println("Error:", err)

		break

	}

}
