reg.exe
Note: This is currently in preview, with support for features that GitHub Desktop and Atom require.
$ npm install --save registry-js
# or
$ yarn add registry-js
The current set of libraries for interacting with the registry have some limitations that meant we couldn't use it in GitHub Desktop:
windows-registry
depends
on ffi
at runtime, which caused issues with webpack-ing, and was missing
APIs we needed.node-winreg
depends on
reg.exe
which breaks as soon as you enable "Prevent access to registry
editing tools" Group Policy rules (yes, even QUERY
operations are caught by
this). More details about this can be found in
desktop/desktop#3105.After exploring other options like invoking PowerShell - which was too slow - we decided to write our own little library to do the stuff we require by invoking the Win32 APIs directly.

This project isn't about implementing a 1-1 replication of the Windows registry API, but implementing just enough for whatever usages there are in the wild.
