# NAME

waybar - network module

# DESCRIPTION

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 (in 90 degree increments).

*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 label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.

*justify*: ++
	typeof: string ++
	The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.

*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.

*menu*: ++
	typeof: string ++
	Action that popups the menu.

*menu-file*: ++
	typeof: string ++
	Location of the menu descriptor file. There need to be an element of type
	GtkMenu with id *menu*

*menu-actions*: ++
	typeof: array ++
	The actions corresponding to the buttons of the menu.
