Status Bar package

Display information about the current editor such as cursor position, file path, grammar, current branch, ahead/behind commit counts, and line diff count.

Configuration

The status bar package accepts the following configuration values:

• status-bar.cursorPositionFormat — A string that describes the format to use for the cursor position status bar tile. It defaults to %L:%C. In the format string, %L represents the 1-based line number and %C represents the 1-based column number.

• status-bar.selectionCountFormat — A string that describes the format to use for the selection count status bar tile. It defaults to (%L, %C). In the format string, %L represents the 1-based line count and %C represents the 1-based character count.

API

This package provides a service that you can use in other Atom packages. To use it, include status-bar in the consumedServices section of your package.json:

{
  "name": "my-package",
  "consumedServices": {
    "status-bar": {
      "versions": {
        "^1.0.0": "consumeStatusBar"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then, in your package's main module, call methods on the service:

module.exports =
  activate: -> # ... 
 
  consumeStatusBar: (statusBar) ->
    @statusBarTile = statusBar.addLeftTile(item: myElement, priority: 100)
 
  deactivate: ->
    # ... 
    @statusBarTile?.destroy()
    @statusBarTile = null

The status-bar API has four methods:

• addLeftTile({ item, priority }) - Add a tile to the left side of the status bar. Lower priority tiles are placed further to the left.
• addRightTile({ item, priority }) - Add a tile to the right side of the status bar. Lower priority tiles are placed further to the right.

The item parameter to these methods can be a DOM element, a jQuery object, or a model object for which a view provider has been registered in the the view registry.

• getLeftTiles() - Retrieve all of the tiles on the left side of the status bar.
• getRightTiles() - Retrieve all of the tiles on the right side of the status bar

All of these methods return Tile objects, which have the following methods:

• getPriority() - Retrieve the priority that was assigned to the Tile when it was created.
• getItem() - Retrieve the Tile's item.
• destroy() - Remove the Tile from the status bar.
