Beautiful way to show battery status!

[carloseguevara]

I want to contribute with a beautiful way to show the battery status (you need to have a nerd font) with icons.

function! Battery_icon() 
  let l:battery_icon = {
    \ 5: " ",
    \ 4: " ",
    \ 3: " ",
    \ 2: " ",
    \ 1: " "}
    
  let l:backend = battery#backend()
  let l:nf = float2nr(round(backend.value / 20.0))
  return printf('%s', get(battery_icon, nf))
endfunction
let g:airline_section_x = airline#section#create(['%{battery#sign()} %{battery#value()}%% %{Battery_icon()}'])

Cool. How about adding battery#component() which returns a value of g:battery#components like

(not sure if there is any better word than component, let me know if you have idea)

let g:battery#components = {
      \ 4: '[####]',
      \ 3: '[### ]',
      \ 2: '[##  ]',
      \ 1: '[#   ]',
      \ 0: '[    ]',
      \}

And users can configure it to use NerdFont if they want. It's nice NerdFont example is written in the documentation.

Are you going to make a PR or do you ask me to implement such a feature?

I would like it to be a feature too How about g:battery#display?

I have added some support for this plugin on https://github.com/adelarsq/vim-emoji-icon-theme/issues/4 🙂

This question is a bit off point, but I'm not sure it's worthy of it's own issue: Is there a way for me to hide the battery image and just have the percent showing?

I have no idea how I missed that, but I am grateful.

It taken long-long time but now battery.vim supports this feature. See help g:battery#graph_indicators for detail.

Thanks for the idea @carloseguevara
