7 Usage
8 -----
9
10 You can ``register`` Yawn to get a set of widgets, or ``attach`` it to
11 an existent widget.
12
13 ### register
14
15     yawn = lain.widgets.yawn(id, args)
16
17 - ``id``
18
19     An integer that defines the WOEID code of your city.
20     To obtain it you can google 'yahoo weather %CITYNAME%' and follow the first link.
21     It will look like:
22
23         http://weather.yahoo.com/united-states/california/san-diego-2487889/
24
25     and the last number in that link will be the ID you need.
26
27 - ``args``
28
29     A required table which can contain:
30
31     Variables | Meaning | Type | Possible values | Default value
32     --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
33     `u` | Units | string | "c" (Celsius), "f" (Fahrenheit) | "c"
34     `timeout` | Refresh timeout seconds | int | integers | 600
35     `settings` | User settings | function | function | empty function
36
37     `settings` can use strings `forecast`, `units`, and can modify `yawn_notification_preset` table, which
38      will be the preset for the naughty notifications. Check [here](http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/naughty.html#notify) for the list of variables it can contain.
39
40 The function `register` creates an imagebox icon and a textbox widget. Add them to you wibox like this:
41
42     right_layout:add(yawn.icon)
43     right_layout:add(yawn.widget)
44
45 Hovering over ``yawn.icon`` will display the notification.
46
47 ### attach
48
49     lain.widgets.yawn.attach(widget, id, args)
50
51 Arguments:
52
53 - ``widget``
54  
55     The widget which you want to attach Yawn to.
56
57 - ``id``
58
59     Same as in ``register``.
60
61 - ``args``
62  
63    Same as in ``register``.
64
65 Hovering over ``widget`` will display the notification.
66
67 Popup shortcut
68 --------------
69
70 You can also create a keybinding for the weather popup like this:
71
72     awful.key( { "Mod1" }, "w", function () yawn.show(5) end )
73
74 where ``show`` argument is an integer defining timeout seconds.
75
76 Localization
77 ------------
78
79 Default language is English, but Yawn can be localized.
80
81 Move to `localizations` subdirectory and fill `localization_template`.
82
83 Once you're done, rename it like your locale id. In my case:
84
85     $ lua
86     Lua 5.2.2  Copyright (C) 1994-2013 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
87     > print(os.getenv("LANG"):match("(%S*$*)[.]"))
88     it_IT
89     >
90
91 hence I named my file "it_IT" (Italian localization).
92
93 **NOTE:** If you create a localization, feel free to send me! I will add it.
