A Nightscout Phase for OhMyPosh exhibits my realtime Blood Sugar readings in my Git Immediate



I’ve talked about how I like a pleasant fairly immediate in my Home windows Terminal and made movies exhibiting intimately tips on how to do it. I’ve additionally labored with my buddy TooTallNate to place my real-time blood sugar right into a bash or PowerShell immediate, however this was again in 2017.

Now that I am “Staff OhMyPosh” I’ve been which means to put in writing a Nightscout “phase” for my immediate. Nightscout is an open supply self-hosted (there are business hosts additionally like T1Pal) web site and API for distant show of real-time and near-real-time glucose readings for Diabetics like myself.

Since my physique has an energetic REST API the place I can simply do an HTTP GET (by way of curl or no matter) and see my blood sugar, it clearly belongs in a spot of honor, identical to my present Git Department!

My blood sugar in my Prompt!

Oh My Posh helps configurable “segments” and now there is a beta (nonetheless wants mmol and off readings assist) Nightscout phase you can setup in just some minutes!

This immediate works in ANY shell on ANY os! You are able to do this in zsh, PowerShell, Bash, no matter makes you content.

Here’s a YouTube of Jan from OhMyPosh and I coding the phase LIVE in Go.

When you’ve got an current OhMyPosh json config, you may simply add one other phase like this. Ensure that your Nightscout URL features a safe Token or is public (as much as you). Be aware additionally that I setup “if/then” guidelines in my background_templates. These are elective and as much as you to vary to your style. I set my background colours to purple, yellow, inexperienced relying on sugar numbers. I even have a foreground template that isn’t actually used, as you may see it at all times evaluates to black #000, nevertheless it exhibits you ways you possibly can set it to white textual content on a darker background when you needed.

{
"kind": "nightscout",
"fashion": "diamond",
"foreground": "#ffffff",
"background": "#ff0000",
"background_templates": [
"{{ if gt .Sgv 150 }}#FFFF00{{ end }}",
"{{ if lt .Sgv 60 }}#FF0000{{ end }}",
"#00FF00"
],
"foreground_templates": [
"{{ if gt .Sgv 150 }}#000000{{ end }}",
"{{ if lt .Sgv 60 }}#000000{{ end }}",
"#000000"
],

"leading_diamond": "",
"trailing_diamond": "uE0B0",
"properties": {
"url": "https://YOURNIGHTSCOUTAPP.herokuapp.com/api/v1/entries.json?depend=1&token=APITOKENFROMYOURADMIN",
"http_timeout": 1500,
"template": " {{.Sgv}}{{.TrendIcon}}"
}
},

By default we’ll solely exit and hit your Nightscout occasion each 5 min, solely when the immediate is repainted, and we’ll solely wait 1500ms earlier than giving up. You may set that “http_timeout” (how lengthy earlier than we hand over) when you really feel this slows you down. It will be cached for five min so it is unlikely  to b one thing you may discover. The advantage of this new OhMyPosh phase over the earlier answer is that it requires no further companies/chron jobs and will be setup extraordinarily rapidly. Be aware additionally you can customise your template with NerdFonts. I’ve included a tiny syringe!

What a lovely prompt with Blood Sugar!

Subsequent I will hope to enhance the phase with mmol assist in addition to strikeout fashion for “stale” (over 15 min previous) outcomes. You are additionally welcome to assist out by watching our YouTube and submitting a PR!
