Imports

Config created by other tools, or those imported from shared rules, can be imported into karabiner.ts instead of being rewritten.

importJson()

Rules imported from shared rules are stored in directory ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/. They can also be stored within the karabiner.ts project directory and imported using __dirname:

import { homedir } from 'node:os'
import { resolve } from 'node:path'

writeToProfile('Default', [
  // ... karabiner.ts rules

  // Imported shared rules
  importJson(
    resolve(
      homedir(),
      '.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/1703535155.json',
    ),
  ),

  // Local JSON file
  importJson(resolve(__dirname, './my-rules.json')),
])

importProfile()

Rules created using other tools can be imported from a different profile, and new rules can be added prior to the importProfile() call.

writeToProfile('karabiner.ts', [
  // ... karabiner.ts rules

  // Import from another profile
  importProfile('ByAnotherTool'),
])
