Add multi-account support about i3-agenda HOT 5 CLOSED

It's now possible since @notdodo commit

Previously if you did it, both blocks would have pulled from the same cache.
Now you can set a different config dir for each block and let them run simultaneously

You would need something like this

Step 1

You will have to create both directories first
mkdir -p ~/.config/i3agenda/work && mkdir -p ~/.config/i3agenda/personal

Step 2

You will need to download both google credential files for both accounts and place them in the appropriate directories.
More information here

Step 3

Configure your bar
Polybar example

modules-center = agenda-personal agenda-work
....
[module/agenda-personal]
type = custom/script
; Show the next event and forget cache automatically every 60 minutes. Save cache in personal config dir
exec = i3-agenda -c ~/.config/i3agenda/personal/google_credentials.json -ttl 60 --conf ~/.config/i3agenda/personal
interval = 60
....

[module/agenda-work]
type = custom/script
; Show the next event and forget cache automatically every 60 minutes. Save cache in work config dir
exec = i3-agenda -c ~/.config/i3agenda/work/google_credentials.json -ttl 60 --conf ~/.config/i3agenda/work
interval = 60

Edit:
Added this workaround to the README

from i3-agenda.

we could add an option to provide the script with multiple credentials file (using the -c flag)
This will require users to download 2 files, one for each account, then the script will simply fetch n times for each credentials file provided, it will then just merge the resulting lists and from there it's business as usual.

TODO:

1. Change the get_events call to be called for each credential file provided
   https://github.com/rosenpin/i3-agenda/blob/master/i3_agenda/__init__.py#L33

2. Add support for multiple credentials file command line argument
   https://github.com/rosenpin/i3-agenda/blob/master/i3_agenda/config.py#L14

from i3-agenda.

Currently this script only supports a single account, you could add your work account calendar to your personal account calendar, then sync your personal calendar. This will make the script go through both calendars

This is not going to be good enough workaround. In case of a Google Account managed by an organization you can share with your personal account only with permission to see busy / free events 😞

Just out of curiosity, why is not possible to run the same command with different permission files? Because if that would have been possible, a user could render it in separated blocks with different styles. It would have been a bit more flexible.
