;;; Commentary:

;; There are 3 lists for the left, centre and right of the mode-line.  They're
;; the same as mode-line-format in terms of general schema as they're fed
;; directly into that variable.  Padding strings are automatically generated
;; based on these segments so be sure to set these.

;;; Code:

(defvar better-mode-line/left-segment nil
  "List of elements that are placed on the left of the mode-line")

(defvar better-mode-line/centre-segment nil
  "List of elements that should be on the centre of the mode-line")

(defvar better-mode-line/right-segment nil
  "List of elements that should be on the right of the mode-line")

(defconst better-mode-line/--minimum-padding 4
  "Minimum size of padding string.")

(defun +better-mode-line/evil-state ()
  "Returns either the empty string if no evil-state is defined or
the first character of the evil state capitalised"
  (with-eval-after-load "evil"
    (if (bound-and-true-p evil-state)
        (upcase
         (substring
	        (format "%s"
			            evil-state)
          0 1))
      "")))

(defun better-mode-line/--get-padding-size (other-size)
  "Compute length of padding to ensure string of size OTHER is on an
extreme end to CENTRE-SEGMENT."
  (let* ((centre-size (length (format-mode-line better-mode-line/centre-segment)))
         (win-width (window-width))
         (margins (window-margins))
         (width (if (null (car margins))
                    win-width
                  (+ (car margins) win-width (cdr margins)))))
    (- (floor (/ width 2)) (floor (/ centre-size 2)) other-size)))

(defun better-mode-line/--generate-padding (segment)

                     better-mode-line/--minimum-padding
                   padding-size)
                 ?\s)))

- first loading the package.
- segments are updated."
