An implementation of i3 IPC in C++11.
- cmake (>= 3.0)
- C++11 compiler
- sigc++ 2.0
- jsoncpp
Yet the only way of using is to add this repo as a submodule
git submodule add https://github.com/drmgc/i3ipcpp.git ./i3ipc++/Then just type this in your CMakeLists.txt:
...
add_subdirectory(i3ipc++)
include_directories(${I3IPCpp_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${I3IPCpp_LIBRARY_DIRS})
...And then just link:
...
target_link_libraries(someapp ${I3IPCpp_LIBRARIES})
...See also examples in examples/ directory.
#include <i3ipc++/ipc.hpp>
i3ipc::connection conn;The connection will be established automaticly.
First of all you need to declare the events you want to handle. As example we want to handle an binding and workspace events:
conn.subscribe(i3ipc::ET_WORKSPACE | i3ipc::ET_BINDING);Then we need to connect to the signal handlers:
// Handler of WORKSPACE EVENT
conn.signal_workspace_event.connect([](const i3ipc::workspace_event_t& ev) {
std::cout << "workspace_event: " << (char)ev.type << std::endl;
if (ev.current) {
std::cout << "\tSwitched to #" << ev.current->num << " - \"" << ev.current->name << '"' << std::endl;
}
});
// Handler of binding event
conn.signal_binding_event.connect([](const i3ipc::binding_t& b) {
std::cout << "binding_event:" << std::endl
<< "\tcommand = \"" << b.command << '"' << std::endl
<< "\tinput_code = " << b.input_code << std::endl
<< "\tsymbol = " << b.symbol << std::endl
<< "\tinput_type = " << static_cast<char>(b.input_type) << std::endl
<< "<
