Date blocklet

This is a blocklet, which displays current date with an icon depending on your current time. It uses sunrise-sunset API.

Requirements

• C++ compiler supporting C++17 features.
• Noto Fonts Emoji.

Installation

1. Run make to build the blocklet.
2. Copy dateadv file to your blocklets directory (/usr/lib/i3blocks, in my case).

sudo cp dateadv /usr/lib/i3blocks

3. Add dateadv configuration block to your i3blocks.conf file. Provide your latitude and longitude to get sunrise and sunset data. Blocklet saves API response to /tmp/sunset_sunrise file (you may change it in dateadv.cpp).
