node-applescript-promise 

A high-level way to execute AppleScript code through NodeJS and retrieve
the result as a native JavaScript object. Underneath the hood, this
module is just a simple wrapper around the OS X osascript command.

AppleScripts are the only way to communicate and interact with certain
external OS X processes, for example iTunes.

Easy Install
------------

``sh
yarn add applescript-promise
`

Requirements
------------

* Mac (or Hackintosh) running OS X (tested with Sierra)
* NodeJS (v4.4.7 or newer)

Usage
-----

The node-applescript-promise module provides execString and execFile functions
to easily execute AppleScript commands and buffer the output into a calback.

`js
import applescript from 'applescript';

// Very basic AppleScript command. Returns the song name of each
// currently selected track in iTunes as an 'Array' of 'String's.

const script = 'tell application "iTunes" to get name of selection';

applescript.execString(script)
.then((tracks) => {
tracks.forEach(songName => console.log(songName);
})
.catch((error) => {
// Something went wrong
console.log('error:', error);
});
`

execFile works the exact same way, except you pass the _path_ of the AppleScript
(*.applescript) file as the first argument instead of the command itself, and you
may pass an optional Array of strings as a second argument to send to the applescript file.
