node-uwp's Introduction

node-uwp

Enables Universal Windows Platform (UWP) API access for Node.js (Chakra build) on Windows 10.

Example

const uwp = require('uwp');
const Windows = uwp.projectNamespace('Windows');

Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.documentsLibrary.createFileAsync(
  'sample.dat', Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption.replaceExisting)
  .done(
    function (file) {
      console.log('ok');
      uwp.close(); // all async operations are completed, release uwp
    },
    function (error) {
      console.error('error', error);
      uwp.close(); // all async operations are completed, release uwp
    }
);

Installation

Prerequisites

Run under Node.js (Chakra) command prompt:

npm install uwp

APIs

This package exports 2 functions.

projectNamespace(name)

Project a UWP namespace of given name.

Note: This function will keep Node process alive so that your app can continue to run and handle UWP async callbacks. You need to call close() when UWP usage is completed.

close()

Close all UWP handles used by this package. Call this when all UWP usage is completed.

Checkout our OSS effort with Node-ChakraCore. It supports the most recent version of node.js and will also be useful if you are on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. Note: It does not support UWP.

node-uwp's Issues

Any way to access MSApp?

MSDN page says:

The MSApp object and its members are supported only for Windows Store apps using JavaScript (WWAs). Like many WWA objects, the MSApp object only exists in the local context of a WWA (that is, an HTML document in a WWA loaded via the ms-appx URI scheme); otherwise, the object doesn’t exist (and consequently, none of its methods and properties are available).

It looks like node-uwp doesn't provide access to this MSApp object (at least direct .projectNamespace('MSApp') didn't work for me), and neither it's defined in WinJS that comes with Visual Studio template.

In that case, I'm wondering where is that object defined and whether there is any way to access it via node-uwp.

build: Wrong Windows SDK version

Reported by @grownseed in #11

Thanks @hgwood but still no luck... I've removed anything Node-related on my system, installed Node.js with Chakra, re-installed Visual Studio Community 2015 with Visual C++, Visual Studio Extensibility Tools Update 1, Windows 10 SDK, Universal Windows App Development Tools, rebooted, added GYP_MSVS_VERSION 2015 to my environment variables, npm config set python c:\python2.7\python.exe.

Of particular note is Wrong Windows SDK version, it looks like it's pointing to the Windows 8.1 Kit, even though I do have the Windows 10 Kit available. I'm now stuck trying to figure out how to tell node-gyp to use the correct kit (if that's actually what's going on here...).

Node sources for version 5.0.0-0 do not exist.

The node.exe that comes with the Node.js Tools for Windows IoT 1.3 advertises 5.0.0-0 as a version (node --version). When I npm install uwp, node-gyp tries to download the sources for this version of node from https://nodejs.org/dist/v5.0.0-0/node-v5.0.0-0.tar.gz and logically fails, because this version it not an official version of Node.

"Undeclared identifier" error when building with Visual Studio 2015

Hello,

I'm on Windows 10.0.15063 and when I try to rebuild the module with the following command:

node-gyp rebuild -- msvs_version=2015

I'm getting a bunch of "Undeclared identifier" errors in win_delay_load_hook.cc:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Anton

Unfamiliar code definition

Hey I am wondering why the sample code is like the following:

var uwp = require('uwp');
uwp.projectNamespace("Windows");
Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.documentsLibrary.createFileAsync

instead of

var uwp = require('uwp');
var Windows = uwp.projectNamespace("Windows");
Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.documentsLibrary.createFileAsync

I don't know if it's just me but variables being defined without a definition feels very uncomfortable. What is the reason for it working like this?

Please provide a sample for using the nodejs with uwp

Hi,

Its nice to know that nodejs is supported uwp, Can you please provide a use case sample. so that i can know what we can achieve with this.

Regards,
Abhishek Saatal

Will this work in Electron shell?

I have created an app in Electron (http://electron.atom.io). It's basically a web application in a Chromium browser with NodeJS packed into an executable. My users can download and run this like it's a desktop application.

I'd like the app to connect to a Bluetooth Low Energy device through GATT in Windows 10. There is a UWP API for this that works. However I don't really feel like porting my app to a Windows Store app if I don't have to. So I came across this and it looks promising.

Now before I spend a lot of time and energy into trying to make this work, I'd like to ask you guys if you think it's possible at all. I'm sure I'm not the only person wondering this, thank you.

how close are we to being able to use Chakra for all our nodejs apps as a choice

this looks awesome and should not just be for iot development. When can we start using this mainstream for performance gains? also, what git repo should we specifically be watching for updates. All these repos are a bit confusing to follow.

UWP Speech recognition

How can I use UWP Speech recognition "https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/input-and-devices/speech-recognition" along with this node-uwp package?

Looking at the nodejs dists, it seems as though there is in fact no v7.0.0-pre8 release, only v7.0.0, v7.1.0, v7.2.0, v7.2.1 ... v7.5.0.

Can we fix this please?

How can I use it for NW.js ?

Basically rebuilding it for other JS Engines (V8)

Unable to use APIs available to real packages

Getting the following error when trying to get local/temp folders:

> Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current
WinRTError: The process has no package identity.

I read around and looks like it's been a common issue for various UWP test runners, and in this specific case it happens because we don't really have any AppData associated with the script, but wondering if it would be possible to shim such APIs so that they would use e.g. script's folder as a base.

No need for node_modules to be checked in

please update the .gitignore

build: missing libs in LINK command line

Reported by @RReverser in #12. We should have a list of libs on LINK command line.

Those libs are supposed to be brought in by C:\Program Files\NodejsUwp\Console\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\addon.gypi:

          ['node_win_onecore=="false"', {
            'libraries': [
              '-lkernel32.lib',
              '-luser32.lib',
              '-lgdi32.lib',
              '-lwinspool.lib',
              '-lcomdlg32.lib',
              '-ladvapi32.lib',
              '-lshell32.lib',
              '-lole32.lib',

This only occurs when in the REPL. Running files works. So it's not really an issue, but I thought it could be mentioned somewhere, probably in the readme.

Code needs to be updated to work with nan v2.*

Incompatibility with nan 2.2.0

npm install uwp gave me some compile errors (please forgive my localized msbuild printing some messages in French):

Since the errors were clearly complaining about nan, I thought I would check the version of nan that was used. Your package.json mentions ^2.1.0, which resolved to 2.2.0. I guessed that maybe you didn't test uwp with nan 2.2.0, so I cloned this repo on my disk, changed the nan version in package.json to ~2.1.0, ran npm i /path/to/my/cloned/uwp and it worked.

So maybe nan messed up and there is a breaking change between 2.1 and 2.2, or maybe uwp is using some internal nan APIs that were changed between 2.1 and 2.2. Anyway, a quick fix is to change the package.json nan dependency to ~2.1.0 or even 2.1.0.

Exceptions swallowed by promises

Reprising your sample and introducing an obvious mistake shows that errors don't seem to escape promise handlers:

var uwp = require('uwp');
uwp.projectNamespace("Windows");

Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.documentsLibrary.createFileAsync(
  "sample.dat", Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption.replaceExisting)
  .done(
    function (file) {
      undefinedFunc();
    },
    function (error) {
      undefinedFunc();
    }
);

Running this shows no error, it just runs eternally because uwp.close() is never called. It makes it hard to detect errors, especially programming ones.

I read about WinJS.promise.onerror, but I'm not sure how it relates to the uwp module. Any pointers?

How to List USB device?

my code:
DeviceInformation class

`
var uwp=require("uwp");

uwp.projectNamespace("Windows");
var deviceInformation = Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceInformation;
var VID=0x10C4;
var PID=0x81B9;
deviceInformation.findAllAsync().done(
function(devices){
console.log(devices);
},function(err){
console.log(err);
}
);
`
result:
Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceInformationCollection {
'0': Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceInformation {},
'1': Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceInformation {},
'2': Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceInformation {},
'3': Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceInformation {},
..........
'785': Windows.Devices.Enumeration.DeviceInformation {} }

why I can't find any device?

OS: Win 10 Enterprise
nodejs: Node.js (Chakra) [email protected]

The device can display at Device Manager

Using this without visual studio

Is it planned to be able to use this without the requirement of visual studio? Visual studio is very large and feels like overkill when I want to write a quick node script. I am use to using node with typescript and plugins that only work in the atom editor and it seems I need to learn a new workflow just to use windows api's in node.

When I want to use any open source library I can just npm install it. When I want to use windows API's i need to install a custom version of node, 10gb of visual studio and use Microsoft tools to build. This causes me a lot of friction.
