The status bar exposes a atom.workspaceView.statusBar
global that exposes an
API to add views to the status bar.
You can access it from your package by doing the following:
module.exports =
activate: ->
atom.packages.once 'activated', ->
atom.workspaceView.statusBar?.appendLeft('<span>hi!<span>')
It is important to guard against the atom.workspaceView.statusBar
property
being null
since the status bar package could be disabled or not installed.
The status bar API has 4 methods:
appendLeft(view)
- Append a view to the left side of the status barprependLeft(view)
- Prepend a view to the left side of the status barappendRight(view)
- Append a view to the right side of the status barprependRight(view)
- Prepend a view to the right side of the status bar
The view
parameter to all these methods can be a jQuery
selector, Space Pen view, string of HTML,
or DOM element.
