gitlab block

[Alessandro Ogier]

Hi, being in love with the tool, rust language and having to use gitlab for my work, I'd like to implement a gitlab block as per #715!
The four potential endpoints visited by py3status' block depending on configuration looks like a good start to me:

• single_project
  • {name} project name, eg py3status
  • {star_count} number of stars, eg 2
  • {forks_count} number of forks, eg 3
  • {open_issues_count} number of open issues, eg 4
  • {statistics_commit_count} number of commits, eg 5678
• merge_requests
  • {open_merge_requests_count} number of open merge requests, eg 9
• todos
  • {todos_count} number of todos, eg 4
• pipelines
  • {pipelines_status} project status of pipelines, eg success

also I'd go with a total placeholder which sums:

if single_project {
  issues + project's MR + pipelines
} else {
  all MR, issues user has access to
}
+ todos

In respect to what exactly is counted for each value, I would go a little further than py3status, exposing API parameters for each one:

pipelines
status	The status of pipelines, one of: created, waiting_for_resource, preparing, pending, running, success, failed, canceled, skipped, manual, scheduled
todos
state	The state of the to-do item. Can be either pending or done
merge requests
state	Returns all merge requests or just those that are opened, closed, locked, or merged.
scope	Returns merge requests for the given scope: created_by_me, assigned_to_me or all. Defaults to created_by_me.

of course there is plenty of other parameters but I think this subset would provide the most value without too much config bloat.

What do you think? Thank you, regards

Sounds good!

that's great to hear, I'll begin asap as I'm eager to learn more!

Hi, I'm trying to add gitlab icon so I can use it in the block, but so far I'm not having much luck.

What I did so far is adding a line to those files:

• files/icons/awesome4.toml
• files/icons/awesome5.toml
• files/icons/awesome6.toml
• files/icons/emoji.toml
• files/icons/material-nf.toml
• files/icons/material.toml
• src/icons.rs

basically duplicating the existing github line

but no way to use Value::icon("gitlab"). Icon name exists in fonts. I'm not sure if my specific font include it tho, could you please help me @MaxVerevkin pointing the right process to add a new icon?

[Max Verevkin]

Did you ./install.sh your modifications?

[Alessandro Ogier]

ah! Silly me, I did not :( ok now it works as expected, sorry for the noise and thank you! :)
