org-clock-waybar Export the currently clocked-in task to be displayed on Waybar

Installation

Put org-clock-waybar.el somewhere in your load-path, and (require 'org-clock-waybar).

MELPA version may come soon.

You can set the file to be written by customizing org-clock-waybar-filename; it defaults to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/waybar-current-task.json ($XDG_CACHE_HOME defaults to $HOME/.cache on XDG compatible systems, like Linux.)

Waybar configuration

To add the current task to Waybar, add this snippet to your config:

"custom/org": {
  "format": " {}",
  "return-type": "json",
  "restart-interval": 5,
  "exec": "cat /home/yourusername/.cache/waybar-current-task.json"
}

If you use Emacs as a daemon (e.g. starting it as emacs --daemon or calling (server-start)), you can change the exec command to invoke emacsclient directly. Note that, since Emacsclient cant actually write stuff to the terminal, it will output an Emacs string full of backslashes (see this Emacs SE answer for details); thus, you have to pipe the output through jq fromjson. In this case, no output file will be written.:

"custom/org": {
  "format": " {}",
  "return-type": "json",
  "restart-interval": 5,
  "exec": "emacsclient --eval '(org-clock-waybar-ouptut-task)' | jq fromjson"
}

Then, add custom/org to modules-left/modules-center/module-right if your bars configuration. You can find a minimal working configuration in the examples directory.
