# Writing a bumblebee-status module ## Introduction Adding a new module to `bumblebee-status` is straight-forward: - Add a new Python module in `modules/contrib/`. The name of the module will be the name that the user needs to specify when invoking `bumblebee-status` (i.e. a module called `modules/contrib/test.py` will be loaded using `bumblebee-status -m test`) - See below for how to actually write the module - Test (run `bumblebee-status` in the CLI) - Make sure your changes don't break anything: `./coverage.sh` ## Pull requests The project **gladly** accepts PRs for bugfixes, new functionality, new modules, etc. When you feel comfortable with what you've developed, please just open a PR, somebody will look at it eventually :) Thanks! ## Hello world This example will show "hello world" in the status bar: ``` """Short description""" import core.module import core.widget class Module(core.module.Module): def __init__(self, config): super().__init__(config, core.widget.Widget(self.full_text)) def full_text(self, widgets): return "hello world" # vim: tabstop=8 expandtab shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4 ```
