API

This page describes Spaceship API for creating plugins and tweaking Spaceship's behavior.

Spaceship uses SPACESHIP_ prefix for variables and spaceship:: prefix for a function to avoid conflicts with other ones. All section, including custom ones, are being required to use spaceship_ prefix before their name to load properly.

Typical section

Below is an example of a typical section for Spaceship. Pay attention to a few crucial moments:

  • Define options for customization. Their names should start with SPACESHIP_.
  • Section's name should start with spaceship_.
  • Show section only where it's needed (in directories which contains specific files, when a specific command is available, etc).

Take a look at Contribution guidelines for further information.

# Show foobar status

# Otherwise this section won't be loaded.
spaceship_foobar() {
  # If SPACESHIP_FOOBAR_SHOW is false, don't show foobar section
  [[ $SPACESHIP_FOOBAR_SHOW == false ]] && return

  # Check if foobar command is available for execution
  spaceship::exists foobar || return

  # Show foobar section only when there are foobar-specific files in current
  # working direcotory.
  # Here glob qualifiers are used to check if files with specific extention are
  # present in directory. Read more about them here:

  if [[ $SOME_CONDITION ]]; then
    foobar_status=$(foobar baz)
  else
    foobar_status=$(foobar foo)
  fi

  # Display foobar section
  spaceship::section \
    "$SPACESHIP_FOOBAR_COLOR" \

SPACESHIP_VERSION

An environment variable that defines the version of currently running Spaceship prompt version. Can be used for issue reporting or debugging purposes.

Accessible to any program or script running in a current shell session.

Example:

echo $SPACESHIP_VERSION
#> 3.0.0

SPACESHIP_ROOT

Attention! Do not modify the value of this variable! Changing the value may cause the damage to Spaceship installation!

An environment variable that defines the path to Spaceship prompt installation. Spaceship uses this variable for resolving path to sections and utils.

Accessible to any program or script running in a current shell session.

Example:

echo $SPACESHIP_ROOT
#> /path/to/spaceship-prompt

spaceship::section <color> [prefix] <content> [suffix]

This command displays prompt section prefixed with prefix, suffixed with suffix and content painted in color. Bold style is applied by default.

prefix, suffix and content can contain escapes to set additinal foreground color, background color and other visual effects. Read more about escapes in 13 Prompt Expansion section of Zsh documentation.

If SPACESHIP_PROMPT_PREFIXES_SHOW is false or if the section is not the first in the prompt, then prefix will be omitted.

If SPACESHIP_PROMPT_SUFFIXES_SHOW is false, then suffix will be omitted.

Both prefix and suffix are optional. They are equal to empty strings by default.

Arguments

  1. color Required — Color for displaying the content. Can be any of basic colors or color codes.
  2. prefix Optional — Prefix before content. Usually, it's the value of SPACESHIP_*_PREFIX.
  3. content Required — The content of the section. Can be any valid value or result of command execution.
  4. suffix Optional — Suffix after content. Usually, it's the value of SPACESHIP_*_SUFFIX.

Example

# Display prompt section with prefix and suffix
# Backslash is used to escape line ending
spaceship::section \
  "$SPACESHIP_SECTION_COLOR" \
  "$SPACESHIP_SECTION_PREFIX" \
  "$SPACESHIP_SECTION_SYMBOL$section_content" \
  "$SPACESHIP_SECTION_SUFFIX"

# Display prompt section without prefix and suffix
spaceship::section "$color" "$SPACESHIP_CHAR_SYMBOL"

spaceship::exists <command>

This command validates that given program is available for execution. It checks for PATH binaries, functions, and builtins. It returns zero exit code if a command exists and non-zero code otherwise.

You can use this utility to check if some program is installed and perform actions conditionally. For example, you can either return an error and exit or continue script's execution.

Arguments

  1. command Required — a command that needs to be checked.

Example

# Check multiple commands for existin
if spaceship::exists nvm; then
  # extract nvm version
elif spaceship::exists node; then
  # extract node version
else
  return
fi

# Do nothing if pyenv is not installed
spaceship::exists pyenv || return

spaceship::defined <function>

The same as spaceship::exists, but for functions. It returns zero exit code if a function has been defined previously and non-zero if function hasn't.

You can use this utility to check if a user has previously defined a function or not. Spaceship uses this utility internally to check if a custom section has been defined and available for execution.

Arguments

  1. function Required — a function that needs to be checked.

Example

# Check if section has been defined
if spaceship::defined spaceship_section; then
  spaceship_section
else
  # section is not found
fi

spaceship::is_git

This utility returns zero exit code if a current working directory is a Git repository and non-zero if it's not.

Example

# Return if current directory is not a git repository
spaceship::is_git || return

spaceship::is_hg

The same as spaceship::is_git, but for Mercurial repositories. This utility returns zero exit code if a current working directory is a Mercurial repository and non-zero if it's not.

Example

# Return if current directory is not a Mercurial repository
spaceship::is_hg || return

spaceship::deprecated <option> [message]

This utility checks if option variable is set and if it is, prints the message. The message supports escapes to set foreground color, background color and other visual effects. Read more about escapes in 13 Prompt Expansion section of Zsh documentation.

Arguments

  1. option Required — the name of a deprecated variable. If this variable is set (contains any value), then "%B$deprecated%b is deprecated. will be printed. %B and %b is escapes to set the bold style for text.
  2. message Optional — a string for additional deprecation message.

Example

# Check if SPACESHIP_BATTERY_ALWAYS_SHOW is set
spaceship::deprecated SPACESHIP_BATTERY_ALWAYS_SHOW "Use %BSPACESHIP_BATTERY_SHOW='always'%b instead."
#> SPACESHIP_BATTERY_ALWAYS_SHOW is deprecated. Use SPACESHIP_BATTERY_SHOW='always' instead.

spaceship::displaytime <seconds>

This utility converts seconds into a human-readable format. It splits seconds into days (d), hours (h), minutes (m) and seconds (s).

Arguments

  1. seconds Required — seconds for conversion into the readable format.

Example

spaceship::displaytime 123456
#> 1d 10h 17m 36s

spaceship::union <arr1[ arr2[ ...]]>

A utility for performing a union (intersection) of arrays. It lists the contents found in two or more arrays.

Spaceship uses this utility internally for resolution of sections that need to be sourced.

Arguments

  1. arr... — a list of arrays.

Example

arr1=('a' 'b' 'c')
arr2=('b' 'c' 'd')
arr2=('c' 'd' 'e')
spaceship::union $arr1 $arr2 $arr3
#> a b c d e
