# waybar-updates
[](https://github.com/L11R/waybar-updates/actions/workflows/shellcheck.yml)
Tiny Waybar module to check Arch Linux updates from official repositories and AUR.
## Features
- Sends (optional) notifications about updates.
- Supports GNU gettext localization (contribute new po-files!)
- Support for [custom formats](#formatting) to show only the numbers you want.
- Checks updates from AUR using Aurweb RPC, so works independently.
- Can check for development packages upstream changes (see -d [options](#command-line-options))
- Shows updates in the tooltip.
- Supports two states: `pending-updates` and `updated` to use different icons or hide module.
- Uses infinite loop to supply Waybar JSON updates.
- Configurable interval between checks.
## Installation
1. Using AUR package `waybar-updates`.
2. Manually by using `make && make install`.
## Dependencies
- pacman-contrib
- gettext
- curl
- jq
- libnotify
- git (if using `--devel` [option](#command-line-options))
## Usage
`~/.config/waybar/config`:
```json
"modules-left": [
...
"custom/pacman",
...
],
...
"custom/pacman": {
"format": "{icon}{}",
"return-type": "json",
"format-icons": {
"pending-updates": " ",
"updated": ""
},
"exec-if": "which waybar-updates",
"exec": "waybar-updates"
}
```
`~/.config/waybar/style.css`
```css
@keyframes blink-update {
to {
background-color: dodgerblue;
}
}
#custom-pacman {
animation-timing-function: linear;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-direction: alternate;
}
#custom-pacman.pending-updates {
animation-name: blink-update;
animation-duration: 3s;
}
```
You can copy compiled mo-files and use `TEXTDOMAINDIR="$HOME/.config/waybar/scripts"` in case you want
to use localization and don't want to store them in `/usr/share/locale`.
### Command-line options
The following options are available:
| Option | Value | Default | Description |
|--------|-------|---------|-------------|
| `-f`, `--format` | `string` | `{total}` | Custom format used for main output text (see [Formatting](#formatting)) |
| `-t`, `--tooltip` | `string` | | Custom tooltip format (see [Formatting](#formatting)) |
| `-i`, `--interval` | `int` | `6` | Interval (in seconds) between checks |
| `-c`, `--cycles` | `int` | `600` | Cycles between online checks (e.g. 6s *interval* * 600 *cycles* = 3600s = 1h) |
| `-l`, `--packages-limit` | `int` | `10` | Maximum number of packages to be shown in notifications and tooltip |
| `-d`, `--devel` | `none` | `off` | Also check for upstream changes in development packages |
| `-n`, `--notify` | `none` | `off` | Turns on notifications for updates |
#### Formatting
The tooltip and main text formatters can both use "labels" to format their output.
In `--tooltip`, the `{}` label will be replaced with the package list. In `--format`, it's an alias for `{total}`.
Supported custom count labels are `{aur}`, `{dev}`, `{pacman}` and `{total}`. These labels support a custom prefix and/or suffix which can be used to define icons, for example `{A :aur:\n}`, however keep in mind:
* Values **must** be separated with a colon (`:`)
* Values **may** contain newlines and tabs (`\n`, `\r` and `\t`)
* Values **cannot** contain braces (`{` or `}`),
## Localization

- English
- Russian
- French
- Turkish
1. Open `po/waybar-updates.pot` in poedit or any alternative.
