TDE

This api is generally designed for wiboxes, but it can be used for any lua table

In this example we will animate the wibox over 2 seconds, changing its width and height

local example = wibox {
    ontop = true,
    screen = screen,
    width = 100,
    height = 100,
    x = 0,
    y = 0,
}
-- usually you start animation when clicking on a button
-- In this example we use out cubic (see the tweening diagram below)
animate(2, example, { width=200, height=200 }, "outCubic")

Useful when you want to override user settings.

This is a helper module to extract metadata from music.

You can use the default translations of TDE inside of our plugin.

Useful functional principles exist such as, maps, reducers and filters.

You can easily convert lua objects into a serialized representation This is useful for storing and restoring lua objects

serialize({1,2,3, {hello="world"}}) -- becomes "[1,2,3, {hello='world'}]" (string)
deserialize("[1,2,3, {hello='world'}]") -- becomes {1,2,3, {hello="world"}} (table)

You can also save this data to a file serializetofile("file.json", {1,2,3}) -- serialize the data and send it to the file deserializefromfile("file.json") -- returns {1,2,3}

This module tries to improve re-usage of know variables throughout the tde infrastructure.

This package contains a lot of signals.

Quicksort is a divide and concur approach to sorting This is a crude implementation that provides decent sorting in most use cases However, it might not be the most optimal sorting algorithm for your case.

Create a new profilebox (rounded image)

Usually used to show profile images

-- Set the picture in the profilebox with a size of 100
local picture = lib-widget.profilebox("file.png", dpi(100), function(button)
 print("Clicked with button: " ..

Create a new slider widget

Useful when you to get the user to input a range of numbers

-- A slider between 0 and 10 with increments of 0.05, the default value is 5 and a callback function each time the value is updated
local slider = lib-widget.slider(0, 10, 0.05, 5, function(value)
     print("Updated slider value to: " ..
