package AnyEvent::I3; # vim:ts=4:sw=4:expandtab use strict; use warnings; use JSON::XS; use AnyEvent::Handle; use AnyEvent::Socket; use AnyEvent; =head1 NAME AnyEvent::I3 - communicate with the i3 window manager =cut our $VERSION = '0.01'; =head1 VERSION Version 0.01 =head1 SYNOPSIS This module connects to the i3 window manager using the UNIX socket based IPC interface it provides (if enabled in the configuration file). You can then subscribe to events or send messages and receive their replies. Note that as soon as you subscribe to some kind of event, you should B send any more messages as race conditions might occur. Instead, open another connection for that. use AnyEvent::I3; my $i3 = i3("/tmp/i3-ipc.sock"); $i3->connect->recv; say "Connected to i3"; my $workspaces = $i3->message(1)->recv; say "Currently, you use " . @{$workspaces} . " workspaces"; =head1 EXPORT =head2 $i3 = i3([ $path ]); Creates a new C object and returns it. C is the path of the UNIX socket to connect to. =head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS =cut use Exporter; use base 'Exporter'; our @EXPORT = qw(i3); my $magic = "i3-ipc"; # TODO: auto-generate this from the header file?

C is the path of the UNIX socket to connect to. =cut sub new { my ($class, $path) = @_; $path ||= '/tmp/i3-ipc.sock'; bless { path => $path } => $class; } =head2 $i3->connect Establishes the connection to i3. Returns an C which will be triggered as soon as the connection has been established. =cut sub connect { my ($self) = @_; my $hdl; my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar; tcp_connect "unix/", $self->{path}, sub { my ($fh) = @_; $self->{ipchdl} = AnyEvent::Handle->new( fh => $fh, on_read => sub { my ($hdl) = @_; $self->_data_available($hdl) } ); $cv->send }; $cv } sub _data_available { my ($self, $hdl) = @_; $hdl->unshift_read( chunk => length($magic) + 4 + 4, sub { my $header = $_[1]; # Unpack message length and read the payload my ($len, $type) = unpack("LL", substr($header, length($magic))); $hdl->unshift_read( chunk => $len, sub { $self->_handle_i3_message($type, $_[1]) } ); } ); } sub _handle_i3_message { my ($self, $type, $payload) = @_; return unless defined($self->{callbacks}->{$type}); my $cb = $self->{callbacks}->{$type}; $cb->(decode_json $payload); } =head2 $i3->subscribe(\%callbacks) Subscribes to the given event types.
