# mAh Battery
Adds a mAh (milliampere-hours) battery level indicator to the Mac bar.
This meme was created by the 4:00 AM gang.
By the way this is totally a joke, it's the first thing I ever wrote in Swift. lol gotem
## Screenshot
Get it cause the screen was shot
...
## How Do I Use It?
- Prerequisites:
- XCode
- A MacBook
- ~~a will to live~~
1. Clone the repository.
2. Open the project in XCode.
3. Press `⌘ R` (Command + `R`) to run, or use the Build option from the menu.
4. Install the generated `.app` file into your `Applications` folder.
5. Go to `System Preferences` > `Users and Groups` > `Login Items`, click `+`, and add the app.
6. Hold `⌘` and drag the little thing to wherever your little heart desires.
## Why Does this Exist?
Why does anything exist? *Does* anything exist? 🤔
\*`cmatrix` intensifies\*
## How Does it Work?
Poorly.
JK. It works pretty well. It's very simple, too:
I blatantly copied some code from God-knows-where and put it in `Battery.swift`, then wrote the `BatteryAPI` as a completely
un-necessary frivolity to interface with it, with a series of highly complicated and useful functions such as:
```swift
func isCharging() -> String {
return String(battery.isCharging());
}
```
Yeah that's right. I use semicolons in Swift.
Oooh. Aaah.
Basically it's a bunch of `menuitems` with an update function that does this:
```swift
statusItem.button?.title = batteryApi.currentCapacity(unit: true);
currentCapacityOutlet.title = "Current Capacity: " + batteryApi.currentCapacity();
maxCapacityOutlet.title = "Maximum Capacity: " + batteryApi.maxCapacity();
...
```
On a timer that looks like this:
```swift
Timer.scheduledTimer(
timeInterval: 5,
target: self,
selector: #selector(StatusMenuController.timerFire),
userInfo: nil,
repeats: true
);
```

Nah. I mean, if you really want to, I won't stop you. But there are probably many better things to do with your time.
