# RETURN-TYPE
|
||||
|
||||
When *return-type* is set to *json*, Waybar expects the *exec*-script to output its data in JSON format.
|
||||
This should look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{"text": "$text", "tooltip": "$tooltip", "class": "$class", "percentage": $percentage }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The *class* parameter also accepts an array of strings.
|
||||
|
||||
If nothing or an invalid option is specified, Waybar expects i3blocks style output. Values are *newline* separated.
|
||||
This should look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$text\\n$tooltip\\n$class*
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
*class* is a CSS class, to apply different styles in *style.css*
|
||||
|
||||
# FORMAT REPLACEMENTS
|
||||
|
||||
*{}*: Output of the script.
|
||||
|
||||
*{percentage}* Percentage which can be set via a json return-type.
|
||||
|
||||
*{icon}*: An icon from 'format-icons' according to percentage.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
"custom/spotify": {
|

"format": " {}",
|
||||
"max-length": 40,
|
||||
"interval": 30, // Remove this if your script is endless and write in loop
|

|
||||
"exec-if": "pgrep cmus",
|
||||
"on-click": "cmus-remote -u", //toggle pause
|
||||
"escape": true //handle markup entities
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Pacman
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
"custom/pacman": {

|
||||
"interval": "once",
|
||||
"exec": "pacman_packages",
|
||||
"on-click": "update-system",
|
||||
"signal": 8
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternate Pacman
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
"custom/pacman": {
|
||||
"format": "{} ",
|
||||
"interval": 3600, // every hour
|
||||
"exec": "checkupdates | wc -l", // # of updates
|
||||
"exec-if": "exit 0", // always run; consider advanced run conditions
|
||||
"on-click": "termite -e 'sudo pacman -Syu'; pkill -SIGRTMIN+8 waybar", // update system
|
||||
"signal": 8
