Hyprland-rs

An unofficial rust wrapper for Hyprland's IPC

Disclaimer

If something doesn't work, doesn't matter what, make sure you are on the latest commit of Hyprland before making an issue!

Getting started!

Let's get started with Hyprland-rs!

Adding to your project

Add the code below to the dependencies section of your Cargo.toml file!

hyprland = "0.3.2"

Master version

If Hyprland-rs is broken (or other reason) and is taking too long for a release to come out, you can use the master branch in Cargo (will not allow the crate to be published to crates.io):

hyprland = { git = "https://github.com/hyprland-community/hyprland-rs", branch = "master" }

What this crate provides

This crate provides 6 modules (+1 for shared things)

data for getting information on the compositor
event_listener which provides the EventListener struct for listening for events
dispatch for calling dispatchers
keyword for dealing with config option (aka keywords)
config::binds for changing binds (in future config might have config generation)
ctl for calling hyprctl commands

Example Usage

Check the examples in the src/bin/ directory

Comments

fix: read all Hyprland socket data returned

Without this fix, when I got a lot of windows open / clients, this lead to a truncated JSON.

Panic from workspace event listener

Hey, I'm integrating this library into ironbar for https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/18 and I've hit a bug:

When creating and switching to a new workspace, the event listener receives the added event and the change event. It appears when you then open a program (in this case kitty) it panics.

This can be reproduced simply by starting the program, using hyperctl dispatch workspace 4 (or the number of any workspace that does not currently exist), and then opening a window in the new workspace.

Minimal code to reproduce:

let mut event_listener = EventListener::new();

event_listener.add_workspace_added_handler(|id| println!("workspace added: {id:?}"));
event_listener.add_workspace_destroy_handler(|id| println!("workspace removed: {id:?}"));
event_listener.add_workspace_change_handler(|id| println!("workspace changed to {id:?}"));

event_listener.start_listener().await.unwrap();

Stdout and the relevant part of the backtrace:

workspace changed to Regular(2)
workspace changed to Regular(1)
workspace changed to Regular(3)
workspace changed to Regular(1)
workspace changed to Regular(3)
workspace added: Regular(4)
workspace changed to Regular(4)
The application panicked (crashed).

The line that's crashing is here: https://github.com/yavko/hyprland-rs/blob/0f1b676924d9a614278f2a7e3bf4284369de64e1/src/event_listener/shared.rs#L228

It looks like perhaps there's another event being received after those two that is unsupported?

Hyprland version: hyprland-git r1728.7a775c0-1 Library version: 0.2.4

As an aside, it'd probably be better to return an Err rather than panic in the library, so binaries can control how to handle the error.

`0.3.1` release
It's been more than a month, so it's time for a new release, if anyone wants small changes please request here, so they can be seen in next stable release. Thanks! To-do:

[x] Add all layout dispatchers #35

[x] Add minimize event

[x] Add group dispatchers

Create issue forms

Pretty self-explanatory, this will be done to make it easier, and standardize issues for like adding dispatchers as an example. I want this to be integrated with 0.3.1 to make it easier to report missing dispatchers.

WorkspaceType::Named values over 99 will turn into 10
event_listener.add_workspace_added_handler(move |workspace, state| { dbg!(&workspace); });

Yeah. weird. It seems like it only reads the first two digits, since if I'm at workspace 161, it would output 16

ToggleSpecialWorkspace dispatcher does not take any arguments

First of all, thanks a lot for this project!

The hyprland dispatcher togglespecialworkspace takes an optional argument for specifying the name of the special workspace. The ToggleSpecialWorkspace in dispatch.rs does not seem to have any way of specifying the workspace name.

Please let me now if I am missing something.

Add all Master and Dwindle dispatchers

I forgot to add them as they weren't on main page in wiki, anyways they are around like 20, but its easy to add dispatchers, so if someone wants to do it before I get to it, go ahead.

Implement `Error` for `HyprError`
Small edit to impl Error for HyprError, this lets you use it together with crates like anyhow, for example:

fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> { let workspaces = Workspaces::get()?; dbg!(workspaces); Ok(()) }
