Bar

A :bar node is a status bar shown above or below the node that it contains.

{
:type :bar
:bottom false # boolean, optional
:text nil # string, dynamic
:node {} # a node
}

:bottom

If true, the bar will be on the bottom of the node instead of the top.

:text

The contents of the bar.

:node

A valid layout node.

Dynamic

  1. The dimensions of the space available to either property as a tuple, [rows cols]. rows is always 1, but this structure is preserved for consistency.
  2. The current value of :node.

Example

The example at the top of the page was created with the following Janet code:

(def cmd1 (shell/new))
(def cmd2 (shell/new))

(defn
bar-text
[[rows cols] layout]
(def node (layout/attach-id layout))

(if
(nil? node) (style/text
"detached"
:bg "4"
:width cols
:italic true)
(style/text
(tree/path node)
:bg "5"
:width cols)))

(layout/set (layout/new
(bar
bar-text
(split
(attach :id cmd1)
(pane :id cmd2)))))
