Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

electron-winstore-auto-launch

This is a convenience module allowing for easy configuration of startup tasks for Windows Store apps written with Electron. Basically, it allows you either enable or disable the automatic launch of your app when the user logs in.

Usage

Before you can use this module, you need to add an <Extension> to your appxmanifest.xml. An app must register for the windows.startup extension category in its manifest to be activated at startup or when a user logs in.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Package
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/foundation/windows10"
  xmlns:desktop="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/desktop/windows10"
  IgnorableNamespaces="uap uap3">
  ...
  <Applications>
    <Application Id="Slack" Executable="app\Slack.exe" EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication">
      ...
      <Extensions>
        <desktop:Extension
          Category="windows.startupTask"
          Executable="app\Slack.exe"
          EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication">
          <desktop:StartupTask TaskId="SlackStartup" Enabled="true" DisplayName="Slack" />
        </desktop:Extension>
      </Extensions>
    </Application>
  </Applications>
</Package>

This module assumes that you have just one startup task. If you have more than one, it'll automatically use the first one.

The module exports one single static class WindowsStoreAutoLaunch with three main methods:

import { WindowsStoreAutoLaunch } from 'electron-winstore-auto-launch';

// Attempts to enable the task
WindowsStoreAutoLaunch.enable()

// Attempts to disable the task
WindowsStoreAutoLaunch.disable()

// Returns the current status of the task
WindowsStoreAutoLaunch.getStatus()

The status can be disabled (0), disabledByUser (1), or enabled (2). If the app's startup task was disabled by the user in the task manager, it can no longer be programmatically enabled.

The module also exports these helper methods:

import { WindowsStoreAutoLaunch } from 'electron-winstore-auto-launch';

// Returns an IList/Array of all startupTasks registered in the manifest
WindowsStoreAutoLaunch.getStartupTasks()

// Returns the first found startupTask
WindowsStoreAutoLaunch.getStartupTask()
