This project is highly experimental!
Currently targetting Wayfire 0.7.2
Instructions
Compile the plugin.
meson build
ninja -C build
Now, add the plugin located in ./build/c-api/test/libc-api-test.so
to the list of Wayfire plugins
(use absolute paths in wayfire.ini because the project is not installable yet).
Currently, you will see messages to the stdout when an output is added or removed, as well as when a view is mapped/unmapped.
Features, Roadmap, etc.
- The exposed C API is minimal. Currently, it is more of a demo to show "yeah, it is possible to do".
- I do not plan to create a full wrapper for the Wayfire API.
- No guarantees of maintaining this, it may be abandoned at any time. If you have serious intentions of maintaining a Wayfire C API, feel free to fork this.
- The main goal is exploring whether plugins are possible in Rust. The C API is just an intermediate step,
in the future I might start relying more on
bindgen, if it turns out to be feasible. The plan is, however, not to create a feature-complete Rust wrapper (see previous points).
