# Description [`tp_smapi`](http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi) interface and widget creator. ```lua local tp_smapi = lain.widget.contrib.tp_smapi(apipath) ``` The argument `apipath` is an optional string which defines the API path. Its default value is `"/sys/devices/platform/smapi"`. # Functions ## tp_smapi.get(batid, feature) Gets the `feature` of battery `batid`. Returns a string. The list of available features is available at [this page](https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi#Battery_status_features). ## tp_smapi.installed(batid) Checks if battery `batid` is installed. Returns a boolean. ## tp_smapi.status(batid) Gets the status of battery `batid`. Returns a string ("charging", "discharging", or "full"). ## tp_smapi.percentage(batid) Gets the percentage of battery `batid`. Returns a numeric string. ## tp_smapi.time(batid) Gets the time of battery `batid`. Depending on the current status, it can be either running or charging time. Returns a string of the format `HH:MM`. ## tp_smapi.hide() Removes any notification spawned by `tp_smapi.show`. ## tp_smapi.show(batid, seconds, scr) Notifies the current information of battery `batid` for `seconds` seconds on screen `scr`. The argument `scr` is optional, and if missing, the notification will be displayed on the currently focused screen. ## tp_smapi.create_widget(args) Creates a [lain widget](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/wiki/Widgets#usage) of the available ThinkPad batteries. ```lua local tpbat = tp_smapi.create_widget() ``` ### Input table Variable | Meaning | Type | Default --- | --- | --- | --- `widget` | The widget type to use | [`wibox.widget`](https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/wibox.widget.html) | [`wibox.widget.textbox`](https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/wibox.widget.textbox.html) `timeout` | Refresh timeout (in seconds) | integer | 30 `pspath` | Power supply directory path | string | "/sys/class/power_supply/" `battery` | Single battery id | string | autodetected `batteries` | Multiple batteries id table | table of strings | autodetected `settings` | User settings | function | empty function The widget will try to autodetect `battery` and `batteries`. If something goes wrong, you will have to define them manually. In that case, you only have to define one between `battery` and `batteries`. If you have one battery, you can either use `args.battery = "BAT*"` or `args.batteries = {"BAT*"}`, where `BAT*` is the identifier of your battery in `pspath` (do not use it as a wildcard). Of course, if you have multiple batteries, you need to use the latter option. If you define `pspath`, **be sure** to not forget the final slash (/). `settings` can use the `tpbat_now` table, which contains the following strings: - `status`, general status ("N/A", "discharging", "charging", "full"); - `n_status[i]`, i-th battery status (like above); - `n_perc[i]`, i-th battery charge percentage (like above); - `n_time[i]`, i-th battery running or charging time (HH:MM string or "N/A"); `n_time[i]` is the running time of battery `i` when it is discharging, and the charging time otherwise. ### Output table Variable | Meaning | Type --- | --- | --- `widget` | The widget | [`wibox.widget`](https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/wibox.widget.html) | [textbox](https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/wibox.widget.textbox.html) `batteries` | Battery identifiers | Table of strings `update` | Update `widget` | function `timer` | The widget timer | [`gears.timer`](https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/gears.timer.html) The `update` function can be used to refresh the widget before `timeout` expires. ### Usage example ```lua local tp_smapi = lain.widget.contrib.tp_smapi() local bat = tp_smapi.create_widget { battery = "BAT0", settings = function() widget:set_markup(tpbat_now.n_perc[1] .. "%") end } bat.widget:connect_signal("mouse::enter", function () tp_smapi.show("BAT0") end) bat.widget:connect_signal("mouse::leave", function () tp_smapi.hide() end) ```
