🧭 Configuration

getquotes can be configured using a TOML configuration file. The configuration file should adhere to the schema defined in config.schema.toml, which can be validated using Taplo. Here's an example of a configuration file:

# List of authors to fetch quotes from
authors = [
    "Albert Einstein",
    "Isaac Newton"
]

# Theme color in hex format
theme_color = "#FF5733"

# Maximum number of attempts to fetch a quote
max_tries = 50

# Log file path
log_file = "custom_getquotes.log"

# Enable rainbow mode for random colors
rainbow_mode = false

Properties

• authors: An array of author names to fetch quotes from. At least one author must be specified.
• theme_color: A hex color code (with or without a leading #) for theming the output.
• max_tries: The maximum number of attempts to find a quote (between 1 and 100, default is 30).
• log_file: The path to the log file (default is "getquotes.log").
