custom linemode

[domi413]

Describe the question

I'm trying to implement a custom Linemode in Yazi. Based on my understanding, I should be able to access functions from linemode.lua. Ideally, I would like a solution like this:

function Linemode:file_info()
	return ui.Line("%s   %s   %s", self:permissions(), self:size(), self:mtime())
end

Here's an example from the documentation:

-- ~/.config/yazi/init.lua
function Linemode:size_and_mtime()
	local time = math.floor(self._file.cha.modified or 0)
	if time == 0 then
		time = ""
	elseif os.date("%Y", time) == os.date("%Y") then
		time = os.date("%b %d %H:%M", time)
	else
		time = os.date("%b %d  %Y", time)
	end

	local size = self._file:size()
	return ui.Line(string.format("%s %s", size and ya.readable_size(size) or "-", time))
end

But instead of rewriting the logic, I would like to call functions like permissions(), size(), or mtime() directly, if possible.

Another attempt I made was this:

function Linemode:file_info()
	-- Get time of last modification
	local time = math.floor(self._file.cha.modified or 0)
	if time == 0 then
		time = ""
	elseif os.date("%Y", time) == os.date("%Y") then
		time = os.date("%b %d %H:%M", time)
	else
		time = os.date("%b %d  %Y", time)
	end

	-- Get file size or number of files in a folder
	local size = self._file:size()
	if size then
		size = ya.readable_size(size)
	else
		local folder = cx.active:history(self._file.url)
		size = folder and tostring(#folder.files) or ""
	end

	-- Get file permissions
	local permissions = self._file.cha:perm() or ""

	return ui.Line(string.format("%s   %s   %s", permissions, size, time))
end

However, the permissions part doesn't seem to work properly.

Additional Question:

Is it possible to display folder sizes directly? While sorting folders by size is supported, it seems this feature isn't available in linemode.lua yet. Can this functionality be implemented for custom Linemodes?

With the latest nightly version of Yazi, you can achieve this by simply:

function Linemode:file_info()
  return string.format("%s   %s   %s", self:permissions(), self:size(), self:mtime())
end
