Segment creation and what it should output

[estruyf]

Hi all,

I just started creating my first segment and like this, all is a bit new to me, I hope you could help me out. Using the code sample provided in the docs (https://ohmyposh.dev/docs/contributing_segment), there is a {{.Text}} variable defined, but how can you pass a value?

My configuration looks as follows:

{
  "type": "npm",
  "style": "plain",
  "foreground": "#193549",
  "background": "#ffeb3b",
  "properties": {
    "newprop": "Hello"
  }
}

This is what it renders:

Questions

1. Should the output be: hello world?
2. I would expect that the newprop needs to be defined somewhere in the template. Is there some magic behind the {{.Text}} happening?

Or should the segment Init method be:

func (n *Npm) Init(props properties.Properties, env environment.Environment) {
    n.props = props
    n.env = env

	n.Text = props.GetString(NewProp, "Hello")
}

You're right, that seems to be missing 😅
