# Scripting
Scripting rules and logic:
. *Only one* script can be fired per notification
. Each script requires `exec` and at least one of the other properties
. All listed properties must match the notification for the script to be ran
. If any of the properties doesn't match, the script will be skipped
. If a notification doesn't include one of the properties, that property will be skipped
Notification information can be printed into a terminal by running
*G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all swaync* (when a notification appears).
Config properties:
```
{
"scripts": {
"example-script": {
"exec": "Your shell command or script here...",
"app-name": "Notification app-name Regex",
"summary": "Notification summary Regex",
"body": "Notification body Regex",
"urgency": "Low or Normal or Critical",
"category": "Notification category Regex"
}
}
other non scripting properties...
}
```
*config.json* example:
```
{
"scripts": {
// This script will only run when Spotify sends a notification containing
// that exact summary and body
"example-script": {
"exec": "~/.config/swaync/myRickRollScript.sh",
"app-name": "Spotify"
"summary": "Never Gonna Give You Up",
"body": "Rick Astley - Whenever You Need Somebody"
}
}
other non scripting properties...
}
```
## Disable scripting
To completely disable scripting, the project needs to be built like so:
```
meson build -Dscripting=false
ninja -C build
meson install -C build
```
# Waybar Example
