Candy coated prompts for the ion shell. Tested on Linux only, for now.
Use cargo. Note that ~/.cargo/bin must be on your PATH
cargo install --git https://github.com/anxiousmodernman/candypaint
Then, add the following to ~/.config/ion/initrc
# use the "chad" theme as your prompt
fn PROMPT
let tmp = "/tmp/candypaint"
echo -n $(candypaint chad) > $tmp
source $tmp
echo -n $CANDY
end
In this example, candypaint writes a script to $tmp
. That script exports a
CANDY
variable, our dynamically generated prompt. It must be sourced by ion
to interpret the escape characters correctly.
This project aims to provide zero-config prompts for ion. Prompt modifications might get deeper integration into ion in the future, but until then we can use a dedicated tool to shell out to in our initrc.
We have 2 so far.

A theme is simply a function that returns Option<String>
built from your
environment (your path, your git status, etc.)
