@Tatsh Mastodon Follow

This is a helper library for AppleScript in JavaScript that works on macOS 10.10 and above. To properly use this, a bundler must be used such as Webpack. It is recommended to install jxa-types as well.

This repository also demonstrates how to write tests mocking the JXA environment. See the *.test.ts files in src.

Example use

```typescript import { FileManager } from 'jxa-lib';

const fm = new FileManager(); let attr; try { attr = fm.attributesOfItem('/some-file'); } catch (e) { // Instead of having to pass &error (Ref object) like in Objective-C, // an exception is thrown console.log('Maybe /some-file does not exist?'); }

// attr type is FileAttributes or undefined, which does not have prefixes removed if (attr) { console.log(attr.NSFileGroupOwnerAccountID); // string console.log(attr.NSFileModificationDate); // Date object } ```

Example with C functions

You do not have to use ObjC.import() because all modules will do this on their own.

```typescript import { stdlib, string } from 'jxa-lib';

const size = 32; const buf = stdlib.malloc(size); // returns Ref string.memset(buf, 0, size); for (let i = 0, c = 'a'.charCodeAt(0); i < size; i++, c++) { buf[i] = c; }

const asciiC = 'c'.charCodeAt(0); const asciiD = 'd'.charCodeAt(0);

// memchr() returns Ref or Ref to NULL const result = string.memchr(buf, asciiC, size); if (result[0]) { // this will be asciiC or null/undefined console.log(result[0] === asciiC); // true console.log(result[1] === asciiD); // true

// Getting result[30] or above is not defined behaviour }

stdlib.free(result);

// Do not print the result of the last expression stdlib.exit(0); ```
