Contrib Widget Types
====================

Contrib libraries, or widget types, are extra snippets of code you can use.
Some are for less common hardware, and other were contributed by Vicious users.
The contrib directory also holds widget types that were obsoleted or rewritten.
Contrib widgets will not be imported by init unless you explicitly enable it,
or load them in your ``rc.lua``.

Usage within Awesome
--------------------

To use contrib widgets uncomment the line that loads them in ``init.lua``.
Or you can load them in your rc.lua after you require Vicious:

.. code-block:: lua

   local vicious = require"vicious"
   vicious.contrib = require"vicious.contrib"

Widget Types
------------

Most widget types consist of worker functions that take the ``format`` argument
given to :lua:func:`vicious.register` as the first argument,
``warg`` as the second, and return a table of values to insert in
the format string.  But we have not insisted on this coding style in contrib.
So widgets like PulseAudio have emerged that are different.  These widgets
could also depend on Lua libraries that are not distributed with the
core Lua distribution.  Ease of installation and use does not necessarily
have to apply to contributed widgets.

vicious.contrib.ac
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Provide status about the power supply (AC).

Supported platforms: GNU/Linux, requiring ``sysfs``.

* Argument: the AC device, i.e ``"AC"`` or ``"ACAD"``.  The device is linked
  under ``/sys/class/power_supply/`` and should have a file called ``online``.
* Returns ``{"On"}`` if AC is connected, else ``{"Off"}``.
  If AC doesn't exist, returns ``{"N/A"}``.

vicious.contrib.ati
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Provides various info about ATI GPU status.

Supported platforms: GNU/Linux, requiring ``sysfs``.

* Argument: card ID, e.g. ``"card0"`` (and where possible,
  uses ``debugfs`` to gather data on radeon power management)
* Returns a table with string keys: ``${method}``, ``${dpm_state}``,
  ``${dpm_perf_level}``, ``${profile}``, ``${engine_clock mhz}``,
  ``${engine_clock khz}``, ``${memory_clock mhz}``, ``${memory_clock khz}``,
  ``${voltage v}``, ``${voltage mv}``

vicious.contrib.batpmu
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

vicious.contrib.batproc
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

vicious.contrib.btc
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Provides current Bitcoin price in any currency by
[code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217).


Platform independent, although requiring ``curl`` and either
[lua-cjson](https://github.com/mpx/lua-cjson/) or
[luajson](https://github.com/harningt/luajson/).

* Argument: currency code, e.g. ``"usd"``, ``"rub"`` and other.
  Default to ``"usd"``.
* Returns a table with string key ``${price}``.

vicious.contrib.buildbot
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Provides last build status for configured buildbot builders
(http://trac.buildbot.net/).

Supported platforms: platform independent, though requiring Lua JSON parser
[luajson](https://github.com/harningt/luajson/).

Returns build status in the format:
``[<builderName>.<currentBuildNumber>.<lastSuccessfulBuildNumber>]``.
If ``<currentBuildNumber>`` is the same as ``<lastSuccessfulBuildNumber>``
only one number is displayed.  ``<buildNumber>`` colors:
red---failed, green---successful, yellow---in progress.

vicious.contrib.countfiles
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

vicious.contrib.cmus
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. note::

   This widget type has been promoted to :ref:`widgets`.

* Argument: a table whose first field is the socket including host (or nil).
* Returns a table with string keys: ``${status}``, ``${artist}``, ``${title}``,
  ``${duration}``, ``${file}``,  ``${continue}``, ``${shuffle}``, ``${repeat}``.

vicious.contrib.dio
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Provides I/O statistics for requested storage devices.

* Argument: the disk as an argument, i.e. ``"sda"``, or a specific
  partition, i.e. ``"sda/sda2"``
* Returns a table with string keys: ``${total_s}``, ``${total_kb}``,
  ``${total_mb}``, ``${read_s}``, ``${read_kb}``, ``${read_mb}``,
  ``${write_s}``, ``${write_kb}``, ``${write_mb}`` and ``${sched}``

vicious.contrib.openweather
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Provides weather information for a requested city

* Argument: OpenWeatherMap city ID, e.g. ``"1275339"``
* Returns a table with string keys: ``${city}``, ``${wind deg}``,
  ``${wind aim}``, ``${wind kmh}``, ``${wind mps}``, ``${sky}``,
  ``${weather}``, ``${temp c}``, ``${humid}`` and ``${press}``

vicious.contrib.nvinf

  * ``$2``: Usage of GPU memory
  * ``$3``: Usage of video engine
  * ``$4``: Usage of PCIe bandwidth
  * ``$5``: Uemperature of requested graphics device

vicious.contrib.ossvol
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

vicious.contrib.pop
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

vicious.contrib.pulse
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Provides volume levels of requested pulseaudio sinks and functions to
manipulate them

* Argument (optional): name of a sink as an optional argument. A number will
  be interpret as an index, if no argument is given, it will take the
  first-best. To get a list of available sinks run
  ``pacmd list-sinks | grep 'name:'``.
* Returns an array whose only element is the volume level

vicious.contrib.pulse.add(percent[, sink])
