# This script is a trivial shell script to send your own output to i3bar while
|
||
# using the JSON protocol.
|
||
#
|
||
# It is ugly and that is inherent to using JSON with shell scripts. You
|
||
# _really_ should not do that. See i3status or i3status’s contrib/ directory
|
||
# for examples of how to handle the output in higher-level languages.
|
||
#
|
||
# This example is purely for illustration of the protocol. DO NOT USE IT IN THE
|
||
# REAL WORLD.
|
||
|
||
# Send the header so that i3bar knows we want to use JSON:
|
||
echo '{ "version": 1 }'
|
||
|
||
# Begin the endless array.
|
||
echo '['
|
||
|
||
# We send an empty first array of blocks to make the loop simpler:
|
||
echo '[]'
|
||
|
||
# Now send blocks with information forever:
|
||
while :;
|
||
do
|
||
echo ",[{\"name\":\"time\",\"full_text\":\"$(date)\"}]"
|
||
sleep 1

done
