Notisen

Notisen is a Rust rewrite of highmon.pl script for weechat irc client. Proudly with less feature and less flexibility.

highmon.pl itself is a script that collects all highlights (another term for mention/notification on weechat). In a single buffer, for easy viewing. This script only replicate that functionality and no more. There's no setting or command hook, yeah, sorry to disappoint.

This project itself is mainly for learning purpose. To understand how to do FFI in Rust. And probably just a toy that incidentally scratch my itch.

If you wanna write a plugin for weechat, I recommend using the rust-weechat crate instead. Link in the Resource section below.

Currently this plugin is already working. And I've been using it for at least one week without any problem. If you see any possible issue, don't afraid to open new issue/pull request on github. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

The Name

Notisen is short for Notice Me Senpai.

Compiling and Installing

Require Rust, Bindgen, and Weechat installed. Execute the following to compile and install the plugin into your weechat's plugin folder ($HOME/.weechat/plugins).

make
make install

Safe Abstraction for the Plugin API

This section is a part of the recent rewrite. A design idea for the plugin API. Will be expanded if the rewrite succesful.

• TODO: explain the current C API from Weechat.
• TODO: explain the new design on top of that glue layer.

Todo/Future Improvement

• Write tests.
• Make it works for any version of weechat.

Resource

• rust-weechat crate
• bindgen
• writing -sys crate
• c2rust
• highmon.pl
• weechat's plugin api
