Building

cargo build --release

The binary is at target/release/hypr2lua.

Example

Input (hyprland.conf):

$mod = SUPER
$terminal = kitty

general {
    gaps_in = 5
    gaps_out = 20
    border_size = 2
}

bind = $mod, Q, exec, $terminal
exec-once = waybar
source = ~/.config/hypr/colors.conf

Output (hyprland.lua):

-- Generated by hypr2lua from hyprlang .conf
-- Hyprland Lua config (v0.55+)

local mod = "SUPER"
local terminal = "kitty"

hl.set {
    general = {
        gaps_in = 5,
        gaps_out = 20,
        border_size = 2,
    },
}

hl.bind("SUPER", "Q", "exec", "kitty")
hl.exec_once("waybar")
require("~/.config/hypr/colors")

Library Usage

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
hypr2lua = "0.1"

use hypr2lua::{parse, generate};

let conf = r#"
$mod = SUPER

general {
    gaps_in = 5
}

bind = $mod, Q, exec, foot
"#;

let nodes = parse(conf);
let lua = generate(&nodes);
println!("{}", lua);
