Bases: i3pyblocks.blocks.Block

• **kwargs – Arguments to be passed to i3pyblocks.blocks.base.Block.update_state() method.

async start(self) → None

Starts a Block.

This is an abstract method, so it should be overriden.

This method is where you generally wants to put your main loop to update the state of the Block. This loop can either be triggered by events or can be an infinity loop. It can even be a single call to update(), but in this case your Block will only be updated once.
