[FEAT] Battery module: display charging state separately from AC connection

[lilianravenet]

Description

The {status} option for the battery displays both the AC connection and the charging state. Two separate modules would be more useful than a single string that has to be parsed manually, in my opinion.

Motivation

I think it would make sense to use different placeholders. For example:

• {charging}: "Charging, Discharging, Full"
• {ac}: "Connected, Disconnected"

I am interested in helping implement these modules myself if that could help you :)

Additional context

I am using fastfetch 2.65.2 (x86_64), the currently newest version available on Fedora 44.
This issue only seems to happen when the AC is plugged and the battery is not full (< 99%).
Here's a screenshot:

Not sure what's the issue. It's by design.

I don't want to introduce another two variables just for your request since {status} should still be kept for compatibility.

I've asked the maintainer of Fedora fastfetch package to add lua support in fastfetch (added in 2.66.0). It's not as simple as {charging} but doable.
