# Gerrit widget
This widget adds support for [Gerrit](https://www.gerritcodereview.com/). It shows number of currently assigned reviews to the user and shows a notification when new review is assigned.
## Customization
It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters:
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `host` | Required | Ex https://gerrit.tmnt.com |
| `query` | `is:reviewer AND status:open AND NOT is:wip` | Query to retrieve reviews |
## Prerequisite
- [curl](https://curl.haxx.se/) - is used to communicate with gerrit's [REST API](https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/rest-api.html)
- setup [netrc](https://ec.haxx.se/usingcurl-netrc.html) it is used to store username and password in order to call API's endpoints.
