Expanding on custom directory icons

[gallagherman]

First I just want to say that I am brand new to git and contributing to open source projects. This might be a simple issue.

I want to modify the prompt_dir() function in powerklevel9k.zsh-theme to include more conditions to replace the icon depending of the state_path.

This issue is related to #606.

This can be easily done if you just add dir states and separate conditions. For instance, here I've added a "DROPBOX""state that uses "DROPBOX_ICON" for paths that contain '~/dropbox'*, almost exactly the same as the current/etc conditions.

  # save state of path for highlighting and bold options
  local path_opt=$current_path

  typeset -AH dir_states
  dir_states=(
    "DEFAULT"         "FOLDER_ICON"
    "HOME"            "HOME_ICON"
    "HOME_SUBFOLDER"  "HOME_SUB_ICON"
    "NOT_WRITABLE"    "LOCK_ICON"
    "ETC"             "ETC_ICON"
    "DROPBOX"         "DROPBOX_ICON"
  )
  local state_path="$(print -P '%~')"
  local current_state="DEFAULT"
  if [[ $state_path == '/etc'* ]]; then
    current_state='ETC'
  elif [[ "${POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_SHOW_WRITABLE}" == true && ! -w "$PWD" ]]; then
    current_state="NOT_WRITABLE"
  elif [[ $state_path == '~/dropbox'* ]]; then
    current_state="DROPBOX"
  elif [[ $state_path == '~' ]]; then
    current_state="HOME"
  elif [[ $state_path == '~'* ]]; then
    current_state="HOME_SUBFOLDER"
  fi

My question is; how could we do this within .zshrc instead of modifying powerline9k.zsh-theme?
I've seen other users utilize the custom_user prompt status in .zshrc to easily add icons and the like, but to my knowledge there is not a custom_dir status to do the same thing, and even so would it allow conditional formatting to icons?

Looks nice in powerlevel10k! So this is not addressed in powerlevel9k?

No.
