# Try out (nix)
Since nix has cool shells, you can just go ahead and run the following command to try the application out.
```bash
nix run git+https://git.4o1x5.dev/4o1x5/dttyper -- --help
```
## Installation
This should work on any distro out there.
```sh
cargo build
cargo install --path .
```
# Develop
a. Enter dev shell via nix
```bash
nix develop
```
b. modify code and then run with nix
```bash
nix run
```
## Usage
For usage instructions, you can run `dttyper --help`:

## config
Configuration is specified by the `config.toml` file in the config directory (e.g. `$HOME/.config/dttyper/config.toml`).
The default values with explanations are below:
```toml
default_language = "english1000"
server = "http://localhost:8086"
token = "token"
bucket = "dttyper"
org = "dttyper"
keyboard = "Generic"
[theme]
# default style (this includes empty cells)
default = "none"
# title text styling
title = "white;bold"
## test styles ##
# input box border
input_border = "cyan"
# prompt box border
prompt_border = "green"
# correctly typed words
prompt_correct = "green"
# incorrectly typed words
prompt_incorrect = "red"
# untyped words
prompt_untyped = "gray"
# correctly typed letters in current word
prompt_current_correct = "green;bold"
# incorrectly typed letters in current word
prompt_current_incorrect = "red;bold"
# untyped letters in current word
prompt_current_untyped = "blue;bold"
# cursor character
prompt_cursor = "none;underlined"
## results styles ##
# overview text
results_overview = "cyan;bold"
# overview border
results_overview_border = "cyan"
# worst keys text
results_worst_keys = "cyan;bold"
# worst keys border
results_worst_keys_border = "cyan"
# results chart default (includes plotted data)
results_chart = "cyan"
# results chart x-axis label
results_chart_x = "cyan"
# results chart y-axis label
results_chart_y = "gray;italic"
# restart/quit prompt in results ui
results_restart_prompt = "gray;italic"
```
### style format
The configuration uses a custom style format which can specify most [ANSI escape styling codes](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#SGR_(Select_Graphic_Rendition)_parameters>), encoded as a string.
Styles begin with the color specification, which can be a single color (the foreground), or two colors separated by a colon (the foreground and background). Colors can be one of sixteen specified by your terminal, a 24-bit hex color code, `none`, or `reset`.
After the colors, you can optionally specify modifiers separated by a semicolon. A list of modifiers is below:
- `bold`
- `crossed_out`
- `dim`
- `hidden`
- `italic`
- `rapid_blink`
- `slow_blink`
- `reversed`
- `underlined`
Some examples:
- `blue:white;italic` specifies italic blue text on a white background.
- `none;italic;bold;underlined` specifies underlined, italicized, and bolded text with no set color or background.
- `00ff00:000000` specifies text of color `#00ff00` (pure green) on a background of `#000000` (pure black).
In [extended Backus-Naur form](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Backus%E2%80%93Naur_form):
```ebnf
style = colors, { ";", modifier }, [ ";" ] ;
colors = color, [ ":", color ] ;
color = "none"
| "reset"
| "black"
| "white"
| "red"
| "green"
| "yellow"
| "blue"
| "magenta"
| "cyan"
| "gray"
| "darkgray"
| "lightred"
| "lightgreen"
| "lightyellow"
| "lightblue"
| "lightmagenta"
| "lightcyan"
| 6 * hex digit ;
hex digit = ? hexadecimal digit; 1-9, a-z, and A-Z ? ;
modifier = "bold"
| "crossed_out"
| "dim"
| "hidden"
| "italic"
| "rapid_blink"
| "slow_blink"
| "reversed"
| "underlined" ;
```
