Can we have multiple instance of the same module

[Tdnshah]

I what to know?

I want to know in WTF dashboard can we have multiple instance of the the same module like i want to have 3 different todo lists one for my personal use, one for my office use, and one for tracking the contributions i do to opensource project?

Similarly for the trello board for each board i want to have a different instance in my dashboard can i have something like this?

You can indeed! I can't believe we failed to make this clear in the documentation, but you can see an example here: https://wtfutil.com/modules/cmdrunner/brew_outdated/
Essentially, you can give any config a name as long as you specify the module type and have multiple running at the same time.

That's a good point. I don't think the process for running multiple instances of a widget is documented anywhere. I've created this issue to track that: wtfutil/wtfdocs#89

Here's a minimal configure for multiple todo instances:

    todo:
      enabled: true
      filename: "todo1.yml"
      focusChar: 1
      position:
        top: 0
        left: 1
        height: 2
        width: 2
      type: todo
    todo2:
      enabled: true
      filename: "todo2.yml"
      focusChar: 2
      position:
        top: 2
        left: 3
        height: 2
        width: 2
      type: todo

Thank you @senorprogrammer for the help also would like to know that can we have a terminal as a widget ? Also ill add this info to the document issue u have created and will contribute

[senorprogrammer]

How do you mean a terminal as a widget? Do you mean having a functioning terminal prompt inside a widget?

yeah

[senorprogrammer]

There's not a way to do that currently, but it is something I've thought about and would like to see.

Going to close this as resolved.
