# C FFI module
|
||||
|
||||
A C FFI module is a dynamic library that exposes standard C functions and
|
||||
constants, that Waybar can load and execute to create custom advanced widgets.
|
||||
|
||||
Most language can implement the required functions and constants (C, C++, Rust,
|
||||
Go, Python, ...), meaning you can develop custom modules using your language of
|
||||
choice, as long as there's GTK bindings.
|
||||
|
||||
# Usage
|
||||
|
||||
## Building this module
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
meson setup build
|
||||
meson compile -C build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Load the module
|
||||
|
||||
Edit your waybar config:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
"modules-center": [
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
"cffi/c_example"
|
||||
],
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
"cffi/c_example": {
|
||||
// Path to the compiled dynamic library file
|
||||
"module_path": "resources/custom_modules/cffi_example/build/wb_cffi_example.so"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|

```
