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 🙏

Packages

| Package | Version | | ------------- | ---------------------- | | win32-api | main-svg | | win32-def | def-svg |

What can I do with this?

Calling win32 native functions come from user32.dll, kernel32.dll, comctl32.dll by Node.js via node-ffi-napi

Installing

npm install win32-api

Usage

DLL Wrapper

import { 
  user32FindWindowEx, 
  winspoolGetDefaultPrinter,
} from 'win32-api/fun'

// Retrieves the printer name of the default printer for the current user on the local computer
const printerName = await winspoolGetDefaultPrinter()

const child = spawn('notepad.exe')
const hWnd = await user32FindWindowEx(0, 0, 'Notepad', null)

Find window and set window title

// **Find calc's hWnd, need running a calculator program manually at first**

/**
 * Exposed modules:
 * Comctl32: Comctl32 from lib/comctl32/api
 * Kernel32: kernel32 from lib/kernel32/api
 * User32: user32 from lib/user32/api
 */
import { Kernel32, User32 } from 'win32-api/promise'
import ref from 'ref-napi'

const knl32 = Kernel32.load()
const user32 = User32.load()

// const user32 = load(['FindWindowExW'])  // load only one api defined in lib/{dll}/api from user32.dll

const title = 'Calculator\0'    // null-terminated string
// const title = '计算器\0'    // null-terminated string 字符串必须以\0即null结尾!

const lpszWindow = Buffer.from(title, 'ucs2')
const hWnd = await user32.FindWindowExW(0, 0, null, lpszWindow)

assert((typeof hWnd === 'string' && hWnd.length > 0) || hWnd > 0)
console.log('buf: ', hWnd)

// Change title of the Calculator
const res = await user32.SetWindowTextW(hWnd, Buffer.from('Node-Calculator\0', 'ucs2'))
if ( ! res) {
  console.log('SetWindowTextW failed')
}
else {
  console.log('window title changed')
}

Ref

import ref from 'ref-napi'

// so we can all agree that a buffer with the int value written
// to it could be represented as an "int *"
const buf  = Buffer.alloc(4)
buf.writeInt32LE(12345, 0)

const hex = ref.hexAddress(buf)
console.log(typeof hex)
console.log(hex)  // ← '7FA89D006FD8'

buf.type = ref.types.int  // @ts-ignore

// now we can dereference to get the "meaningful" value
console.log(ref.deref(buf))  // ← 12345
// use of types and windef:
import ref from 'ref-napi'
import { DModel as M } from 'win32-api'
import { Kernel32, User32 } from 'win32-api/promise'

const knl32 = Kernel32.load()
const user32 = User32.load()

const lpszClass = Buffer.from('guard64\0', 'ucs2')
const hInstanceBuffer = ref.alloc(W.HANDLE_PVOID)
const hInstanceAddr = ref.address(hInstanceBuffer)

await knl32.GetModuleHandleExW(0, lpszClass, hInstanceAddr)
// <Buffer@0x00000094D3968EC0 00 00 a4 60 ff 7f 00 00, type: { indirection: 2, name: 'uint64*' }>
console.log(hInstanceBuffer)
console.log(hInstanceBuffer.readInt32LE(0))     // -> 1621360640           (60A40000)
console.log(hInstanceBuffer.readBigUInt64LE())  // -> 140734814748672n (7FFF60A40000)

Struct

// struct usage with ref-struct
import { retrieveStructFromPtrAddress, StructFactory } from 'win32-api'
import {
  DModel as M,
  DTypes as W,
  DStruct as DS,
} from 'win32-api'

// https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd162805(v=vs.85).aspx
const point = StructFactory<M.POINT>(DS.POINT)
point.x = 100
point.y = 200
console.log(point)

Struct

import { StructFactory } from 'win32-api'
import {
  DModel as M,
  DTypes as W,
  DStruct as DS,
} from 'win32-api'


// https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/windows/win32/api/wingdi/ns-wingdi-display_devicew 
const dd: M.DISPLAY_DEVICEW = StructFactory(DS.DISPLAY_DEVICEW)
dd.cb = dd.ref().byteLength
console.log(dd)

Async Find window and set window title

// **Find calc's hWnd, need running a calculator program manually at first**
import * as ref from 'ref-napi'

import {
  DModel as M,
  DTypes as W,
  DStruct as DS,
} from 'win32-api'
import { Kernel32, User32 } from 'win32-api/promise'


const knl32 = Kernel32.load()
const user32 = User32.load()

const lpszClass = Buffer.from('CalcFrame\0', 'ucs2')
// win10
const calcLpszWindow = Buffer.from('Calculator\0', 'ucs2')
// for win7/8
const calcLpszClass = Buffer.from('CalcFrame\0', 'ucs2')

const child = spawn('calc.exe')
const hWnd = await user32.FindWindowExW(0, 0, null, calcLpszWindow) // win10
const hWnd = await user32.FindWindowExW(0, 0, calcLpszClass , null) // win7/8
assert((typeof hWnd === 'string' && hWnd.length > 0) || hWnd > 0, 'found no calc window')

const title = 'Node-Calculator'
const len = title.length

const ret = await user32.SetWindowTextW(hWnd, Buffer.from(title + '\0', 'ucs2'))
assert(ret, 'SetWindowTextW() failed')

const buf = Buffer.alloc(len * 2)
await user32.GetWindowTextW(hWnd, buf, len + 1)
const str = buf.toString('ucs2').replace(/\0+$/, '')
assert(str === title.trim(), `title should be changed to "${title}", bug got "${str}"`)

child.kill() // seems not work under win10
