METHODS

Constructor

  • new

Configuration Methods

  • context

    Used internally to reference the current shell for command handlers.

  • limit

    Used by timeline commands to limit the number of messages displayed. The default setting will display the last 20 messages.

  • order

    Used by timeline commands to order the messages displayed. The default is to display messages in descending order, with the most recent first and the oldest last.

    To reverse this order, set the 'order' as 'ascending' (or 'asc') in your configuration file. (case insensitive).

  • networks

    Sets the networks list that will appear above the command line.

  • prompt_str

    Sets the prompt string that will appear on the command line.

  • tag_str

    Sets the text that will appear at the end of your message.

    In order to suppress the tag string set the 'tag' option to '.' in your configuration file.

  • services

    Provides the order of services available, the first is always the primary service.

  • pager

    Enables the use of a pager when viewing timelines. Defaults to true if not specified.

  • format

    When printing a list of status messages, the default format of printing the username followed by the status message is not always suitable for everyone. As such you can define your own formatting.

    The default format is "[%U] %M", with the available formatting patterns defined as:

    %U - username or screen name
%M - status message
%T - timestamp
%N - network

  • chars

    As Maisha is run from the command line, it is most likely being run within a terminal window. Unfortunately there isn't currently a detection method for knowing the exact screen width being used. As such you can specify a width for the wrapper to use to ensure the messages are correctly line wrapped. The default setting is 80.
