Interact with Apple's Open Scripting Architecture from node.js
This module provides a Promise interface to macOS's automation and scripting APIs.
osa2 is intended for use in libraries or full applications. If you're looking
to write simple automation scripts, check out jxa.
npm install osa2 --saveGet the currently playing iTunes track
var osa = require('osa2')
var track = osa(() => {
return Application('iTunes').currentTrack.name()
})
track().then(console.log).catch(console.error)Show an alert
var osa = require('osa2')
function alert(message) {
return osa(text => {
var app = Application.currentApplication()
app.includeStandardAdditions = true
app.displayAlert(text)
})(message)
}
alert('Hello World')osa(function) -> function
Wraps function to be run inside Apple's JavaScript for Automation environment.
function
Type: function
The code to be run inside the JXA environment. NOTE: function cannot close over variables in a parent's scope.
Pass data as arguments explicitly instead.
return
Type: function
Returns a new function with the same arguments as function, but when called
the code is run inside the JXA environment. This is done asynchronously,
therefore promise is returned.
var greet = osa(name => `Hello from JXA, ${name}!`)
greet('Will').then(text => {
console.log(text) // Hello from JXA, Will!
})
