senpai was made before go-scfg came up, thus the choice of yaml for configuration. However, scfg is simpler to parse and doesn't do magic with its input, so I suppose will be nicer to use with senpai.
We can use this opportunity to improve consistency of configuration keys: this configuration
addr: 192.168.0.64
no-tls: true
nick: jbezoz
real: Jeej Bezoz
password: Show unread messages on start
highlights:
- bezoz
- senpai
- github
on-highlight: |
echo "<$SENDER> $MESSAGE"
exit 1
nick-column-width: 9
chan-column-width: 15
member-column-width: 16
mouse: false
no-typings: true
could become
address 192.168.0.64
tls false
nickname jbezoz
realname "Jeej Bezoz"
password "Show unread messages on start"
password-cmd gopass show soju
highlight bezoz
highlight senpai github
nickname-column-width 9
channel-column-width 15
member-column-width 16
mouse false
typings {
send false
show true
}
Since scfg doesn't support multi-line values, on-highlight would need to be a separate, executable file that is to be executed with the same environment variables as now, e.g. ~/.config/senpai/highlight
#!/bin/sh
echo "<$SENDER> $MESSAGE"
exit 1
Another solution could be to replicate password-cmd behavior, but it would either not allow environment variables in the command, or force usage of escapes..
I'm going to take this up, already have a draft on my local machine.
