post_deploy_auto_reload.hbs

# don't forget to 'chmod +x post_deploy.sh'
# rename this to 'post_deploy.sh' and put this file into your '.dotter' folder
#
# Explanation: checks if the 'dotter.packages.i3' package is enabled (true), and then restarts i3
# bool is required because 'dotter.packages.i3' can also be 'false', see 'bool.rhai' in this gist

# Configurable version
# add a 'auto_restart_i3 = "false|true"' variable to your i3 package in the 'global.toml' file
# for example:
# [i3.variables]
# auto_restart_id = "true"
{{#if (and (bool dotter.packages.i3) (bool auto_restart_i3))}}
  # reloads i3
  i3-msg restart
{{/if}}

# Version without the variable
{{#if (bool dotter.packages.i3)}}
  # reloads i3
  i3-msg restart
{{/if}}
