hypr2lua

An attempt of a conversion tool for migrating from hyprlang-based configs to the new lua syntax.

Warning

Not everything is implemented, for example

• col.* in the general config is emitted wrong
• animations are not even implemented
• strings get spaces removed which will break commands (if you use this, check your execs)
• bind keys are missing " + " between them
• some types are wrong, for example some bools get emitted as str

and much more. Feel free to open PRs if you want to add support!

Important

Since it is in a half-implemented state, you can use this tool like a starter for migrating to lua, and then do some manual fixes where the tool screws up.

Quickstart

Installing

Using go

Note

Make sure you have the go tools dir added to your PATH env, to be able to use it (add this to your ~/.bashrc and source it after)

export GOBIN=$(go env GOPATH)/bin
export PATH=$GOBIN:$PATH

go install github.com/phillezi/hypr2lua/cmd/hypr2lua@latest

Usage

hypr2lua <hyprland config file>
# example
# hypr2lua ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
#
# Output is emitted to STDOUT, you can redirect this to a file with `>`
# example
# hypr2lua ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf > example.lua
# NOTE: `>` will override the contents of the file you redirect it to
