# Weather widget
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that widget uses the Arc icon theme, so it should be [installed](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-theme#installation) first under **/usr/share/icons/Arc/** folder.
|
|
|
|
## Customization
|
|
|
|
It is possible to customize widget by providing a table with all or some of the following config parameters:
|
|
|
|
| Name | Default | Description |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `font` | `Play 9` | Font |
|
|
| `city` | `Montreal,ca` | City name and country code, [more info](https://openweathermap.org/current) |
|
|
| `api_key` | none| API key, required |
|
|
| `units` | `metric` | `metric` for celsius, `imperial` for fahrenheit |
|
|
|
|
### Example:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
weather_widget({
|
|
api_key = 'your-api-key',
|
|
units = 'imperial',
|
|
font = 'Ubuntu Mono 9'
|
|
}),
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Install lua socket - to make HTTP calls to get the weather information.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install lua-socket
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Download json parser for lua from [github.com/rxi/json.lua](https://github.com/rxi/json.lua) and place it under **~/.config/awesome/** (don't forget to star a repo <i class="fa fa-github-alt"></i> ):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wget -P ~/.config/awesome/ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rxi/json.lua/master/json.lua
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repo under **~/.config/awesome/**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/streetturtle/awesome-wm-widgets.git ~/.config/awesome/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Get Open Weather Map app id here: [openweathermap.org/appid](https://openweathermap.org/appid).
|
|
|
|
1. Require weather widget at the beginning of **rc.lua**:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local weather_widget = require("awesome-wm-widgets.weather-widget.weather")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Add widget to the tasklist:
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
s.mytasklist, -- Middle widget
|
|
{ -- Right widgets
|
|
layout = wibox.layout.fixed.horizontal,
|
|
...
|
|
--default
|
|
weather_widget({api_key = 'your-api-key'}),
|
|
--customized
|
|
weather_widget({
|
|
api_key = 'your-api-key',
|
|
units = 'imperial',
|
|
font = 'Ubuntu Mono 9'
|
|
})
|
|
...
|
|
```
