A collection of utilities for Windows for Node.js
npm install windowsRight now it's just a few wrappers around some builtin console commands but FFI bindings are soon to come.
Some wrappers for the below APIs to be used on the command line.
``shell
cwddrive alias a random available drive letter to current working directory
cwddrive L alias L to CWD if not taken, or toggles it off if it currently is L
cwddrive L C:/some/folder alias L to C:/some/folder if available
makerunnable f1.js [f2.js] ... creates a .cmd file in npm.globalBin (is in PATH) that will exec the .js
`
`javascript
driveAlias('x', folder) // alias a folder to X:\
driveAlias('x') // remove aliased folderdrive
driveAlias() // list all aliased drives
runnable(['myCLI.js',...],function(r){ // for each js file given a %name%.cmd will be
'NPMGLOBALBIN/myCLI.cmd created' // create in the npm global bin directory that
// or // will launch the given js file. npm's globalBin
'Could not find myCLI.js' // is added to PATH by default on installation
});
associations('.js'. 'jscript') // add or change extension to type map
associations('.js') // retrieve type
associations() // list all extension -> types
fileTypes('jscript'. process.execPath) // add or change program that handles a filetype
// (example sets node as javascript's handler)
fileTypes('jscript') // retrieve handler for the type
fileTypes() // list all type -> handlers
getFontNames() // list all the fonts in the registry by type
findWindowsSDK() //--> // simply utility for detecting installed Windows
{ path: winSDKfolder, // SDKs (header files). Returns null if not found.
versions: [8, 9, 10] }
registry(key, options) // returns an object containing the keys and values
v = registry('HKLM/Software/Microsoft' // wrapped in objects allowing further fluent commands
v.someValue.remove() // delete value
v.add('newValue', 'myValue') // add new value
v.add('newKey') // a key is like a folder
v.subKey // getter which goes down one level deeper
x = registry('HKCU/Some/Random/Place')
x.add('newName', v.someValue) // clone a value
z = v.aValue // manipulate wrapped values even after deleting them
z.remove()
v.add(z.name, z) //oops undo
