The network module displays information about the current network connections.

CONFIGURATION

Addressed by network

interface:
    typeof: string
    Use the defined interface instead of auto-detection. Accepts wildcard.

interval:
    typeof: integer
    default: 60
    The interval in which the network information gets polled (e.g. signal strength).

family:
    typeof: string
    default: ipv4
    The address family that is used for the format replacement {ipaddr} and to determine if a network connection is present.

format:
    typeof: string
    default: {ifname}
    The format, how information should be displayed. This format is used when other formats aren't specified.

format-ethernet:
    typeof: string
    This format is used when an ethernet interface is displayed.

format-wifi:
    typeof: string
    This format is used when a wireless interface is displayed.

format-linked:
    typeof: string
    This format is used when a linked interface with no IP address is displayed.

format-disconnected:
    typeof: string
    This format is used when the displayed interface is disconnected.

format-disabled:
    typeof: string
    This format is used when the displayed interface is disabled.

format-icons:
    typeof: array/object
    Based on the current signal strength, the corresponding icon gets selected.
    The order is low to high. Or by the state if it is an object.

rotate:
    typeof: integer
    Positive value to rotate the text label.

max-length:
    typeof: integer
    The maximum length in character the module should display.

min-length:
    typeof: integer
    The minimum length in characters the module should accept.

align:
    typeof: float
    The alignment of the text, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.

on-click:
    typeof: string
    Command to execute when clicked on the module.

on-click-middle:
    typeof: string
    Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.

on-click-right:
    typeof: string
    Command to execute when you right-click on the module.

on-update:
    typeof: string
    Command to execute when the module is updated.

on-scroll-up:
    typeof: string
    Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.

on-scroll-down:
    typeof: string
    Command to execute when scrolling down on the module.

smooth-scrolling-threshold:
    typeof: double
    Threshold to be used when scrolling.

tooltip:
    typeof: bool
    default: true
    Option to disable tooltip on hover.

tooltip-format:
    typeof: string
    The format, how information should be displayed in the tooltip. This format is used when other formats aren't specified.

tooltip-format-ethernet:
    typeof: string
    This format is used when an ethernet interface is displayed.

tooltip-format-wifi:
    typeof: string
    This format is used when a wireless interface is displayed.

tooltip-format-disconnected:
    typeof: string
    This format is used when the displayed interface is disconnected.

tooltip-format-disabled:
    typeof: string
    This format is used when the displayed interface is disabled.
