BitBar PHP Formatter

Installing

Currently, BitBar reads any file in your directory a plugin, and tries to execute it. To workaround this, create a hidden folder, beginning with a dot, for example .bitbar/. In this directory create or edit your composer.json to include the library:

{
  "require": {
    "steveedson/bitbar-php": "dev-master"
  }
}

or run $ composer require "steveedson/bitbar-php"

File Structure

You file structure inside your plugins directory, should look something like:

.
├── .bitbar/
│   ├── composer.json
│   └── vendor/
└── test.5m.php

Usage

In your BitBar plugins directory, create a file, e.g. test.5m.php. Don't forget to add the shebang at the beginning.

#!/usr/bin/php

<?php

require ".bitbar/vendor/autoload.php";

use SteveEdson\BitBar;

// Create BitBar formatter
$bb = new BitBar();

// Create the first line
$line = $bb->newLine();

// Set the text and formatting
$line
    ->setText("Hello World")
    ->setColour("yellow")
    ->setUrl("https://steveedson.co.uk")
    ->show();
