## What

Display Plastic SCM information when in a plastic repository. Also works for subfolders.
For maximum compatibility, make sure your `cm` executable is up-to-date
(when branch or status information is incorrect for example).

## Sample Configuration

```json
{
  "type": "plastic",
  "style": "powerline",
  "powerline_symbol": "\uE0B0",
  "foreground": "#193549",
  "background": "#ffeb3b",
  "background_templates": [
    "{{ if .MergePending }}#006060{{ end }}",
    "{{ if .Changed }}#FF9248{{ end }}",
    "{{ if and .Changed .Behind }}#ff4500{{ end }}",
    "{{ if .Behind }}#B388FF{{ end }}"
  ],
  "template": "{{ .Selector }}{{ if .Status.Changed }} \uF044 {{ end }}{{ .Status.String }}",
  "properties": {
    "fetch_status": true,
    "branch_max_length": 25,
    "truncate_symbol": "\u2026"
  }
}
```

## Properties

### Fetching information

As doing multiple `cm` calls can slow down the prompt experience, we do not fetch information by default.
You can set the following property to `true` to enable fetching additional information (and populate the template).

|`fetch_status`|`boolean`|fetch the local changes - defaults to `false`|
