xbar Plugin: What's Up?

This is a plugin for xbar to quickly show in your macOS menu bar the status of services you depend on. It currently understands the following formats:

statuspage.io JSON responses (Example: reddit Status)
Slack API 2.0 JSON responses

Requirements

xbar

Configuration

make create-config

Using CodeClimate's status page and Slack's as examples, we would create an entry in the configuration file like this:

{
  "CodeClimate": {
    "url": "https://status.codeclimate.com/api/v2/status.json",
    "type": "statuspage.io"
  },
  "Slack": {
    "url": "https://status.slack.com/api/v2.0.0/current",
    "type": "slack"
  }
}

Usage

Clone this repo, install dependencies, and build the plugin.

git clone git@github.com:sprak3000/xbar-whats-up.git
make setup-osx-env
make build

Move the binary and configuration to your xbar plugins directory.

mv whats-up.1h ~/Library/Application\ Support/xbar/plugins/whats-up.1h.cgo
mv whats-up.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/xbar/plugins/.whats-up.json

Alternatively, create symbolic links.

cd ~/Library/Application Support/xbar/plugins
ln -s /path/to/what-up.1h whats-up.1h.cgo
ln -s /path/to/.whats-up.json .whats-up.json
