Usage

bilal current                        ... current salah time
bilal current --json                  .... with JSON format

To configure Bilal, first create a file named config.toml in ~/.config/bilal/ on Unix-like systems. On Windows, place it under \AppData\Bilal\. If you prefer a custom location, simply set the BILAL_CONFIG environment variable.

Next, add your configuration details to the config.toml file:

latitude = -6.18233995
longitude = 106.84287154
madhab = "Shafi"
method = "Egyptian"

Integration with other programs

You can use Bilal with i3status-rust to show salah time in your status.

i3status-rust configuration Example:

[[block]]
block = "custom"
cycle = [
        "bilal current -J",
        "bilal next -J",
        ]
on_click = "<command>"
interval = 300
json = true

See more examples to learn other variations.

If you like bilal to support your favourite status-bar, please open new issue with the valid input of your status-bar. In i3status-rust the valid input it would be {"icon": "ICON", "state": "STATE", "text": "YOURTEXT"}.
