Integration with other programs

You can use Bilal with i3status-rust and waybar to show salah time in your status.

i3status-rurts configuration Example:

[[block]]
block = "custom"
cycle = [
        "bilal current -J",
        "bilal next -J",
        ]
on_click = "<command>"
interval = 300
json = true

waybar configuration Example:

	"custom/prayer": {
		"format": "{}",
		"return-type": "json",
   	"tooltip": true,
    "interval": 3600,
		"exec": "bilal waybar"
	}

See more examples to learn other variations.

If you like bilal to support your favourite status-bar, please open new issue with the valid input of your status-bar. In i3status-rust the valid input it would be {"icon": "ICON", "state": "STATE", "text": "YOURTEXT"}.
