Powerline Statusbar

powerline-statusbar is a powerline inspired statusbar for nodejs based commandline applications. It allows for easy rendering of powerline like bars, containing arbitrary information.

Usage

Using powerline-statusbar is quite simple:

var Powerline = require("powerline-status");
 
var statusline = new Powerline.PowerlineStatus(
    new Poweline.StaticSegment("Some cool content", {foreground: "white", background: "blue"}),
    new Poweline.StaticSegment("Other content", {foreground: "white", background: "orange"})
);
 
console.log(statusline.render());

Segments

Every bit of information is rendered into a Segment. There are different kinds of Segments available inside the Library/Segment folder. If you need a new segment just extend the Library/Segment/Base segment, overriding the constructor as well as the provideContent method. Further options provided by different segments can be easily seen in their corresponding code.

By default every segment supports the following options:

{
    // Either a css color name, a hex value (eg. #ffff00) or a Ansi color
    // code (eg. 63)
    background: "yellow", 
    
    // Either a css color name, a hex value (eg. #ffff00) or a Ansi color
    // code (eg. 63)
    foreground: "black",
   
    // Fill this separator to take all the console width after rendering all
    // segments. Only ONE segment is allowed to have this set to true.
    fill: false,
 
    // Separator style to use deviding this segment from the one right of it.
    // Accepted values: none, normal, reversed, thin, thin-reversed
    separator: "normal"
}

Ansi color codes have to be of type Number in order to work correctly.

Palettes

To ease the usage within differently colored environments Palettes are available containing the ansi-codes for different color themes. They are stored inside Library/Palette and can be accessed using Powerline.palette.<PaletteName>.
