Screensaver API (for nodejs)

Motivation

A simple screensaver API that enable you to wait for a configured idle time. And stop over user interaction. Detecting user interaction (mostly a system wide API call, is delegated to an external closure). See below for details

API

const ScreenSaver = require('@131/screensaver');

const {getIdleTime} = os.platform() == 'linux' ? require('screensaver-trigger/idle_time_linux') : require('winapi');


const timeout = 60 * 1000; //1min

const screenSaver = new ScreenSaver(timeout, getIdleTime);

screenSaver.on('open', () => {
  console.log('screen saver start');
})

screenSaver.on('close', () => {
  console.log('screen saver close');
})
