This is epic! This makes me want to copy the built-in code and make it into a rust library, lol |

That sounds like the perfect option! |

Having something based in C would be great, as that makes it trivial to port to like everything else. It sounds like you know more about that than I do, so if you're up for it absolutely go for it :) |

I have an idea, instead of keeping the ipc client in ironbar itself, could you create a sub crate that holds the ipc client, then use it from ironbar. This would enable a rust ipc client library without extra work. |

Yeah I was considering that - I can split the repo up into a workspace and have the IPC & types in their own crate, then we can stick a third client library crate alongside those. It would involve moving all the source, so I need anything outstanding to be merged first to avoid completely destruction (discluding the GTK4 PR because that's a billion miles off still) |

Haha, I guess that includes me. Sadly, I haven't had time to work on the PR, but I will in a couple of days. |

Update: I've moved this to its' own repo as it's gotten large enough to warrant separating out some of the boilerplate |

Dependencies:
1-file JSON library from rxi
Luajit or another compatible interpreter with a luajit-compatible FFI syntax (maybe luaffi)
ironbar.lua
I've written a very basic implementation of ironbars IPC spec in luajit, it provides all current (July 10th 2023) IPC calls and the responses.
It isn't particularly great, doesn't do a lot of error checking, but functionally it's all there and should be easy to expand moving forward.
Basic usage:
require("ironbar")Returns a function to obtain both the ironbar library, and the json library passed through.All of these will return the decoded json as a table for use.
