Support for C++

[IvanovichPushkin]

Will there be an update for Starship that will allow support for C++?

[jankatins]

What do you mean with "support for C++".

If you ask if you can write additional modules for starship in c++, I would doubt that: starship is written in rust and adding the complexity to integrate modules written in another language seems overkill to me.

If you want to show specific information for your c++ development environment, then this should be possible, e.g. a lot of other dev env thingies are shown: compiler and interpreter versions, cmake,... What are you missing?

Yes, someone can write a module for that. Or you could create a custom module configuration for it, yourself.

thanks. also btw I made a module for it however the following message appears:
[WARN] - (starship::config): Error in 'Custom' at 'version_format': Unknown key

do you know what's the problem with my code. Also here is my code:

[custom.cpp]
detect_extensions = ['cpp']
symbol = "󰙲 "
format = 'via $symbol($version(-$name) )'
version_format = 'v${raw}'
commands = [ [ 'g++', '--version' ] ]
style = 'bold fg:navy'

I just wanted to add to this. To get this table to trigger inside the format string, you have to use "$custom".

format = """

$directory
[](fg:#27abff bg:#31c4ff)
$git_branch
$git_status
[](fg:#31c4ff bg:#41dfff)

I don't get this, what's the "<<<" for?

[IvanovichPushkin]

also the commands don't seem to work

[custom.cpp] detect_extensions = ['cpp'] symbol = "󰙲 " format = 'via $symbol($version(-$name) )' version_format = 'v${raw}' commands = [ [ 'g++', '--version' ] ] style = 'bold fg:navy'

mine is ok:

[custom.cpp]
detect_extensions = ['cpp', 'cc', 'hpp']
symbol = "󰙲 "
format = "via [$symbol($output)]($style)"
command = "clang++ --version | awk '/clang version/{print $4}'"
style = "bold 149"
disabled = false
ignore_timeout = false

ok thanks although i could not get it to output the version in the prompt for g++
