taskwarrior.rs

1//! The number of tasks from the taskwarrior list
2//!
3//! Clicking the right mouse button on the icon cycles the view of the block through the user's filters.
4//!
5//! # Configuration
6//!
7//! Key | Values | Default
8//! ----|--------|--------
9//! `interval` | Update interval in seconds | `600` (10min)
10//! `warning_threshold` | The threshold of pending (or started) tasks when the block turns into a warning state | `10`
11//! `critical_threshold` | The threshold of pending (or started) tasks when the block turns into a critical state | `20`
12//! `filters` | A list of tables describing filters (see bellow) | ```[{name = "pending", filter = "-COMPLETED -DELETED"}]```
13//! `format` | A string to customise the output of this block. See below for available placeholders. | `" $icon $count.eng(w:1) "`
14//! `format_singular` | Same as `format` but for when exactly one task is pending. | `" $icon $count.eng(w:1) "`
15//! `format_everything_done` | Same as `format` but for when all tasks are completed. | `" $icon $count.eng(w:1) "`
16//! `data_location`| Directory in which taskwarrior stores its data files. Supports path expansions e.g. `~`. | `"~/.task"`
17//!
18//! ## Filter configuration
19//!
20//! Key | Values | Default
21//! ----|--------|--------
22//! `name` | The name of the filter |
23//! `filter` | Specifies the criteria that must be met for a task to be counted towards this filter |
24//! `config_override` | An array containing configuration overrides, useful for explicitly setting context or other configuration variables | `[]`
25//!
26//! # Placeholders
