dbus-ts

This project is a fork of dbus-native, rewritten with promises and TypeScript definitions.

Installation

npm install dbus-ts

Usage

Short example using systemd & desktop notifications service

import { sessionBus } from 'dbus-ts';
import { Interfaces as Notifications } from '@dbus-types/notifications'
import { Interfaces as Systemd } from '@dbus-types/systemd'

async function run() {

    // Hint when creating object which dbus type definitions should be used
    const bus = await sessionBus<Notifications & Systemd>();

    const systemd = await bus.getInterface("org.freedesktop.systemd1", "/org/freedesktop/systemd1","org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager")
    const [units] = await systemd.ListUnits()

    const numRunningUnits = units.filter(u => u[4] == 'running').length;

    const notifications = await bus.getInterface("org.freedesktop.Notifications", "/org/freedesktop/Notifications", "org.freedesktop.Notifications")
    await notifications.on('ActionInvoked', (id, action_key) => console.log("ActionInvoked", id, action_key));
    await notifications.on('NotificationClosed', (id, reason) => console.log("NotificationClosed", id, reason));

    const [id] = await notifications.Notify('dbus-ts', 0, '', `${numRunningUnits} units!`, `${numRunningUnits} units are currently running`,
        ['Yes', 'No', 'Maybe'], {},  30);

    console.log("Notification sent successfully with id " + id)

}

run().catch(err => console.log(err))
