Installation

Requires Node 4+

``
npm install node-process-windows
`

$3

Currently, this module is only supported on Windows, and uses a .NET console app to manage windows.

Pull requests are welcome - it would be great to have this API work cross-platform.

Usage

1) Get active processes

`javascript
var processWindows = require("node-process-windows");

var activeProcesses = processWindows.getProcesses(function(err, processes) {
processes.forEach(function (p) {
console.log("PID: " + p.pid.toString());
console.log("MainWindowTitle: " + p.mainWindowTitle);
console.log("ProcessName: " + p.processName);
});
});
`

2) Focus a window

`javascript
var processWindows = require("node-process-windows");

// Focus window by process...
var activeProcesses = processWindows.getProcesses(function(err, processes) {
var chromeProcesses = processes.filter(p => p.processName.indexOf("chrome") >= 0);

// If there is a chrome process active, focus the first window
if(chromeProcesses.length > 0) {
processWindows.focusWindow(chromeProcesses[0]);
}
});

// Or focus by name
processWindows.focusWindow("chrome");
`

3) Get active window

`javascript
var processWindows = require("node-process-windows");

var currentActiveWindow = processWindows.getActiveWindow((err, processInfo) => {
console.log("Active window title: " + processInfo.mainWindowTitle);
});
``
