Active

interface Active {

id: number
name: string
},
workspace: {
id: number
name: string
},
client: {
address: string
title: string
class: string
},
}

The active property is composed by subservices, meaning you connect to any sub prop

const widget = Widget({
setup: self => self
.hook(hyprland, self => {})
.hook(hyprland.active, self => {})
.hook(hyprland.active.monitor, self => {})
.hook(hyprland.active.workspace, self => {})
.hook(hyprland.active.client, self => {})
.bind('prop', hyprland, 'active', active => {})
.bind('prop', hyprland.active, 'monitor', monitor => {})
.bind('prop', hyprland.active, 'workspace', ws => {})
.bind('prop', hyprland.active, 'client', client => {})
.bind('prop', hyprland.active.monitor, 'id', id => {})
.bind('prop', hyprland.active.workspace, 'id', id => {})
.bind('prop', hyprland.active.client, 'address', address => {}),
})

Example Widget

const hyprland = await Service.import('hyprland')
const focusedTitle = Widget.Label({
label: hyprland.active.client.bind('title'),
visible: hyprland.active.client.bind('address')
.as(addr => addr !== "0x"),
})
const dispatch = ws => hyprland.messageAsync(`dispatch workspace ${ws}`);
const Workspaces = () => Widget.EventBox({
onScrollUp: () => dispatch('+1'),
onScrollDown: () => dispatch('-1'),
child: Widget.Box({
children: Array.from({ length: 10 }, (_, i) => i + 1).map(i => Widget.Button({
attribute: i,
label: `${i}`,
onClicked: () => dispatch(i),
})),
// remove this setup hook if you want fixed number of buttons
setup: self => self.hook(hyprland, () => self.children.forEach(btn => {
btn.visible = hyprland.workspaces.some(ws => ws.id === btn.attribute);
})),
}),
})
