xbar

Put anything into your macOS menu bar (sequel to BitBar)

Development

To build xbar, you will need:

• Go v1.15+
• npm v6.14.9
• Wails v2 cli - go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@v2.0.0-alpha.72

Running

If running for the first time first generate the .version file and install the npm dependencies by running:

cd app && git describe --tags > .version 

and

cd app/frontend && npm install

To start the application run:

cd app/frontend && npm run dev

and

cd app && wails dev

Building

In this directory run ./build.sh. The binary will be generated in ./build/bin/.

./build.sh && ./build/bin/xbar

Updates

To use the latest version of the Wails library, ensure that go.mod is using the latest release tag. The Wails CLI may be updated by running wails update -pre. When v2 is released, then wails update will keep you on the stable channel.

Packaging

Tag the branch:

git tag -a v0.1.0 -m "release tag."
git push origin v0.1.0

./package.sh
