This plugin adds a date and time pane to Zellij, a terminal workspace.
Since it is a WebAssembly/WASI build, it will probably work in all environments, including amd64, Arm.
- Support for changing timezone by click or scroll on a pane.
- Support for timezone definition files.
- Binary size reduction.
- Improved parsing of configuration files.
- Support for background color specification.
- When a Zellij session is detached and reattached, the plugin stops without getting drawing and timer events.
- Unnecessary borderlines appear when this plugin is placed at the bottom of the workspace with borderless=true.

Upgrading a Plugin
Since Zellij plugins using zellij-tile rely on shared data structures, currently one would need to compile a plugin against the corresponding zellij-tile package of the zellij version it is installed on.
Preparation of Plug-in deployment destination:
# create configration directory
mkdir -p ~/.config/zellij/layouts/
mkdir -p ~/.config/zellij/plugins/
# If you have already created a layout file, you do not need to do the following.
# export default layaut (Be careful not to overwrite your settings)
zellij setup --dump-layout default > ~/.config/zellij/layouts/default.kdlDownload zellij-datetime.wasm:
cd ~/.config/zellij/plugins/
# download datetime plugin
wget -O zellij-datetime.wasm \
https://github.com/h1romas4/zellij-datetime/releases/latest/download/zellij-datetime.wasmSet the full path to zellij-datetime.wasm in the ~/.config/zellij/layouts/default.kdl layouts file.
vi ~/.config/zellij/layouts/default.kdllayout {
pane size=1 borderless=true {
plugin location="file:/home/hiromasa/.config/zellij/plugins/zellij-datetime.wasm"
}
pane size=1 borderless=true {
plugin location="zellij:tab-bar"
}
pane
pane size=2 borderless=true {
plugin location="zellij:status-bar"
}
}You can select the time zone to be displayed with a left mouse click. You can also insert a date/time string with a left mouse click.
zellij-06.mp4
The timezone can be specified by placing .zellij-datetime.kdl in the Zellij startup directory.
For example, If you are running Zellij from .bashrc, it will be ~/.zellij-datetime.kdl.
timezone {
define "UTC" 0
define "PST" -8
define "PDT" -7
define "JST" +9
}
defalut_timezone "JST"
background_color "#202020"
zellij-04.mp4
The timezone to be displayed is changed by mouse clicking on the pane.
