# DESCRIPTION
The configuration uses the JSON file format and is named `config`.
The configuration uses the JSON file format and is named *config*.
Valid directories for this file are:
- `~/.config/waybar/`
- `~/waybar/`
- `/etc/xdg/waybar/`
- *~/.config/waybar/*
- *~/waybar/*
- */etc/xdg/waybar/*
A good starting point is the default config found at https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/blob/master/resources/config.
Also a minimal example config can be found on the at the bottom of this man page.
All valid options for the modules are listed on the modules page: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Modules.

## Multiple instances of a module

If you want to have a second instance of a module, you can suffix it by a '#' and a custom name.
For example if you want a second battery module, you can add `"battery#bat2"` to your modules.

*Rotating modules*
## Rotating modules
When positioning Waybar on the left or right side of the screen, sometimes it's useful to be able to rotate the contents of a module so the text runs vertically. This can be done using the "rotate" property of the module. Example:
```
{
"clock": {
"rotate": 90
}
"clock": {
"rotate": 90
}
}
```
Valid options for the "rotate" property are: 0, 90, 180 and 270.
