rofi-mode
rofi-mode
provides a high-level ergonomic wrapper around Rofi's C plugin API.
Getting started
First of all,
create a new library with cargo new --lib my_awesome_plugin
and add these lines to the Cargo.toml
:
[]
= ["cdylib"]
That will force Cargo to generate your library as a .so
file,
which is what Rofi loads its plugins from.
Now in your lib.rs
,
create a struct and implement the Mode
trait for it.
For example, here is a no-op mode with no entries:
;
You then need to export your mode to Rofi via the export_mode!
macro:
!;
export_mode
Build your library using cargo build
then copy the resulting dylib file
(e.g. /target/debug/libmy_awesome_plugin.so
)
into /lib/rofi
so that Rofi will pick up on it
when it starts up
(alternatively,
you can set the ROFI_PLUGIN_PATH
environment variable
to the directory your .so
file is in).
You can then run your mode from Rofi's command line:
