nextmeeting 1.2.1

Show your nextmeeting in your poly/waybar with gcalcli

nextmeeting - Show your calendar next meeting in your waybar or polybar

What is it?

nextmeeting is a simple CLI leveraging gcalcli to show the next meetings.

It has a few features compared to just gcalcli :

• bar integration (i.e: waybar/polybar and probably others)
• smart date in English (not just the date, tomorrow or others)
• show the time to go for current meeting
• change colors if there is 5 minutes to go to the meeting
• hyperlink in default view to click on terminal
• notification via notify-send 5 minutes before meeting
• title ellipsis
• Exclude next day meetings.

How to use it?

You need to install gcalcli and setup the google Oauth integration with google calendar.

By default you can start nextmeeting and it will show the list of meetings you have with "human date".

There is a few options to customize things, see nextmeeting --help for more.

Waybar

More interesting to integrate with waybar you can have something like this:

    "custom/agenda": {
        "format": "{}",
        "exec": "size=30;swaymsg -t get_outputs -p |grep -q 'Current mode: 3440x1440' && size=80; nextmeeting --max-title-length ${size} --waybar",
        "on-click": "nextmeeting --open-meet-url",
        "on-click-right": "kitty --class=GClock -- /bin/bash -c \"batz;echo;cal -3;echo;nextmeeting;read;\";",
        "interval": 59,
        "return-type": "json",
        "tooltip": "true",
        "tooltip-format": "{tooltip}",
    },

This will detect if i have my external display connected for the length of the tile and show how long i have until the next meeting. If if i click on the item it will open the meet URL attached to the event. On right click it will use kitty terminal to show the time zones with batz and my next meeting. I can click on the title in the terminal and it will open the meet URL.

You can style the waybar item with the following CSS:

#custom-agenda {
  color: #696969;
}

If you enable the option "--notify-min-before-events it will output a class soon if the events is coming soon, you can style it with:

#custom-agenda.soon {
  color: #eb4d4b;
}

Installation

Use poetry and run it with :

poetry run nextmeeting

If you don't want to use poetry you will to install those packages from PyPi (pip install --user package) or from your package manager if available.
