interval:
typeof: integer
default: 60
The interval in which the network information gets polled (e.g. signal strength).

family:
typeof: string
default: ipv4
The address family that is used for the format replacement {ipaddr} and to determine if a network connection is present.

format:
typeof: string
default: {ifname}
The format, how information should be displayed. This format is used when other formats aren't specified.

format-ethernet:
typeof: string
This format is used when an ethernet interface is displayed.

format-wifi:
typeof: string
This format is used when a wireless interface is displayed.

format-linked:
typeof: string
This format is used when a linked interface with no IP address is displayed.

format-disconnected:
typeof: string
This format is used when the displayed interface is disconnected.

format-disabled:
typeof: string
This format is used when the displayed interface is disabled.

format-icons:
typeof: array/object
Based on the current signal strength, the corresponding icon gets selected.
The order is low to high. Or by the state if it is an object.

rotate:
typeof: integer
Positive value to rotate the text label.

max-length:
typeof: integer
The maximum length in character the module should display.

min-length:
typeof: integer
The minimum length in characters the module should accept.

align:
typeof: float
The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.

justify:
typeof: string
The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.

on-click:
typeof: string

typeof: string
Command to execute when you right-click on the module.

on-update:
typeof: string
Command to execute when the module is updated.

on-scroll-up:
typeof: string
Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.

tooltip:
typeof: bool
default: true
Option to disable tooltip on hover.

menu-actions:
typeof: array
The actions corresponding to the buttons of the menu.
