5 Usage
6 -----

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