XTSB

X11 TypeScript Bindings.

Wip, although probably already quite usable.

Works in Node and browser.

Originally created for use in Greenfield.

Build

yarn install

Usage

example:

import { connect, EventMask, WindowClass } from 'xtsb'

async function main() {
  // create a new connection to the x server using the default environment variable DISPLAY
  const connection = await connect()
  
  // allocate a new windowId
  const windowId = connection.allocateID()

  // create a new window in a non-blocking way, we can optionally call 'check()' on the returned result so we receive a 'Promsise<void>' that can be 'await'ed.
  connection.createWindow(
    0,
    windowId,
    connection.setup.roots[0].root,
    0,
    0,
    150,
    150,
    0,
    WindowClass.InputOutput,
    0,
    { eventMask: EventMask.StructureNotify }
  )
  
  // query the window child tree and wait for the reply
  const queryTreeReply = await connection.queryTree(windowId)
  console.log(queryTreeReply.parent)
  
  // set the on destroy notify event listener
  connection.onDestroyNotifyEvent = event => {
    console.log(event.window)
  }
  
  // destroy the window and explicitly block & check if the request succeeded
  await connection.destroyWindow(windowId).check()
}

main()
