Installation

Requires Node 4+ ```

npm install node-process-windows

```

Supported Platforms

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);

});

```
