Wayshell Module System Design Guidelines

Overview

The Wayshell Module System is designed to be flexible, efficient, and easy to use. This document outlines the design guidelines for the system.

Module Types

Zone Module

• Definition: Allows defining zones and triggers for entering and exiting these zones.
• Implementation: Use efficient data structures to manage zones and triggers.

Layout Module

• Definition: Allows triggering actions based on the activation or deactivation of specific layout types.
• Implementation: Use event-driven architecture to handle layout changes.

Focused Module

• Definition: Allows triggering actions based on focusing or unfocusing specific client types.
• Implementation: Use efficient event handling to manage focus changes.

Configuration Files

• wayshell.conf: General configuration file.
• wayshell.modules: Defines the modules.

Performance Optimization

• Efficient Parsing: Optimize the parsing of configuration files to minimize CPU usage.
• Event Debouncing: Implement debouncing for events to avoid unnecessary triggers.

Testing

• Unit Tests: Write unit tests for each module type.
• Integration Tests: Write integration tests to ensure the modules work together correctly.
• Performance Tests: Conduct performance tests to ensure the system meets the CPU usage constraints.
