## Usage

[Read here.](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/wiki/Widgets#usage)
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
Monitors network interfaces and shows current traffic.
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local mynet = lain.widget.net()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Input table
|
|
|
|
Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
|
|
--- | --- | --- | ---
|
|
`timeout` | Refresh timeout (in seconds) | integer | 2
|
|
`iface` | Network device(s) | string (single interface) or table of strings (multiple interfaces) | autodetected
|
|
`units` | Units | integer | 1024 (kilobytes)
|
|
`notify` | Display "no carrier" notifications | string | "on"
|
|
`wifi_state` | Get wifi connection status | string | "off"
|
|
`eth_state` | Get ethernet connection status | string | "off"
|
|
`screen` | Notifications screen | integer | 1
|
|
`settings` | User settings | function | empty function
|
|
|
|
`iface` can be a string or an table of the form `{ "eth0", "eth1", ... }` containing a list of the devices to collect data on.
|
|
|
|
If more than one device is included, `net_now.sent` and `net_now.received` will contain cumulative values over all given devices.
|
|
Use `net_now.devices["eth0"]` to access `sent`, `received`, `state` or `carrier` per device.
|
|
|
|
Possible alternative values for `units` are 1 (byte) or multiple of 1024: 1024^2 (mb), 1024^3 (gb), and so on.
|
|
|
|
If `notify = "off"` is set, the widget won't display a notification when there's no carrier.
|
|
|
|
`settings` can use the following `iface` related strings:
|
|
|
|
- `net_now.carrier` ("0", "1");
|
|
- `net_now.state` ("up", "down");
|
|
- `net_now.sent` and `net_now.received` (numbers) will be the sum across all specified interfaces;
|
|
- `net_now.devices["interface"]` contains the same attributes as the old api for each interface. More on this in the "Multiple devices" section below.
|
|
|
|
If `wifi_state = "on"` is set, `settings` can use the following extra strings attached to `net_now.devices["wireless interface"]`:
|
|
- `wifi` (true, false) indicates if the interface is connected to a network;
|
|
- `signal` (number) is the connection signal strength in dBm;
|
|
|
|
If `eth_state = "on"` is set, `settings` can use the following extra string: `net_now.devices["ethernet interface"].ethernet`, which is a boolean indicating if an ethernet connection's active.
|
|
|
|
For compatibility reasons, if multiple devices are given, `net_now.carrier` and `net_now.state` correspond to the last interface in the iface table and should not be relied upon (deprecated).

|
## Output table
|
|
|
|
Variable | Meaning | Type
|
|
--- | --- | ---
|
|
`widget` | The widget | `wibox.widget.textbox`
|
|
`update` | Update `widget` | function
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
### Setting `iface` manually
|
|
|
|
If the widget [spawns a "no carrier" notification and you are sure to have an active network device](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/issues/102), then autodetection is probably not working. This may due to [your user privileges](https://github.com/lcpz/lain/issues/102#issuecomment-246470526). In this case you can set `iface` manually. You can see which device is **UP,LOWER_UP** with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
ip link show
|
|
```
|
|
## Usage examples
|
|
### Two widgets for upload/download rates from the same `iface`
|
|
|
|
```lua
|
|
local mynetdown = wibox.widget.textbox()
|
|
local mynetup = lain.widget.net {
|
|
settings = function()
|
|
widget:set_markup(net_now.sent)
|
|
netdowninfo:set_markup(net_now.received)
|
|
end
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
### Wifi connection + signal strength indicator and ethernet connection indicator
|
|
```lua
|
|
local wifi_icon = wibox.widget.imagebox()
|
|
local eth_icon = wibox.widget.imagebox()
|
|
local net = lain.widget.net {
|
|
notify = "off",
|
|
wifi_state = "on",
|
|
eth_state = "on",
|
|
settings = function()
|
|
local eth0 = net_now.devices.eth0
|
|
if eth0 then
|
|
if eth0.ethernet then
|
|
eth_icon:set_image(ethernet_icon_filename)
|
|
else
|
|
eth_icon:set_image()
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
local wlan0 = net_now.devices.wlan0
|
|
if wlan0 then
|
|
if wlan0.wifi then
|
|
local signal = wlan0.signal
|
|
if signal < -83 then
|
|
wifi_icon:set_image(wifi_weak_filename)
|
|
elseif signal < -70 then
|
|
wifi_icon:set_image(wifi_mid_filename)
|
|
elseif signal < -53 then
|
|
wifi_icon:set_image(wifi_good_filename)
|
|
elseif signal >= -53 then
|
|
wifi_icon:set_image(wifi_great_filename)
|
|
end
|
|
else
|
|
wifi_icon:set_image()
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
}
|
|
```
