Updates

Show available updates: updates.New(someProvider).

Updates supports displaying currently available updates using pluggable providers, with the ability to add custom providers fairly easily. Provider is just

type Provider interface {
	Updates() (Info, error)
}

The following update providers are available in barista-contrib:

• pacman: Checks for pacman updates using checkupdates from pacman-contrib.

• yay: Checks for Arch Linux updates using yay.

Configuration

• Output(func(updates.Info) bar.Output): Sets the output format.

• Every(time.Duration): Sets the interval to wait before checking for updates again. Defaults to 1 hour.

• Refresh(): Triggers an update check and refresh the module.

Examples

Show updates if available and display package details using beeep on left-click:

updates.New(yay.New()).Output(func(info updates.Info) bar.Output {
  if info.Updates == 0 {
    return nil
  }

  return outputs.Textf("%d updates", info.Updates).
    OnClick(click.Left(func() {
      beeep.Notify("Available Pacman Updates", info.PackageDetails.String(), "")
    }))
})

Fields

• Updates int: Number of available updates.
• PackageDetails PackageDetails: Contains details about package updates if the provider supports it.
