openfin-adapter

OpenFin Node.js adapter

Allows the use of the OpenFin API from node.js. Please note the launch and connect methods are specific to a node environment.

Requirements

• Node.js LTS ^6.9

Install as dependency

$ npm install -S openfin-adapter

Usage

Using the fin api from an Applications context

init.js

import { fin } from 'openfin-adapter/src/mock';

(() => {
  if (fin.me.isView) {
      fin.me.getCurrentWindow();
      // returns => Promise<OpenFin.Window> only when in a View's context.
  }

  if(fin.me.isFrame) {
      fin.me.getInfo();
      // returns => Promise<OpenFin.FrameInfo> only when in a Frame's context.
  }

  if (fin.me.isWindow) {
      fin.me.getCurrentViews();
      // returns => Promise<OpenFin.View[]> only when in a Window's context.
  }
})();

Using the fin api in node

Connecting to an already running runtime

connect.js

import { connect } from 'openfin-adapter';

export async function connectFromNode() {
    try {
        const { fin }  = await connect({
            address: "ws://localhost:9696",
            uuid: "my-uuid-123"
        });
        const version = await fin.System.getVersion();
        console.log("Connected to OpenFin runtime version:", version);

        const platform = await fin.Platform.startFromManifest('https://openfin.github.io/golden-prototype/public.json');
        console.log('Platform is running, wrapped platform: ', platform);

        return fin;

    } catch(e) {
        throw new Error(`Error: \n${e}`);
    }
}

init.js

import { connectFromNode } from './connect.js'

(async () => {
    try {
        const fin = await connectFromNode();
        console.log(`You are connected to node with this fin instance: \n${fin}`);
    } catch(e) {
        throw new Error(`Error connecting to  from node: \n${e}`);
    }
})();

Launching a runtime from node

launchFromNode.js

import { launch } from 'openfin-adapter';

export async function launchFromNode() {
    try {
        const { fin }  = await launch({
            uuid: "my-uuid-123",
            runtime: {
                version: 'stable'
            }
        });
        const version = await fin.System.getVersion();
        console.log("Connected to OpenFin runtime version:", version);

        const platform = await fin.Platform.startFromManifest('https://openfin.github.io/golden-prototype/public.json');
        console.log('Platform is running, wrapped platform: ', platform);

        return fin;

    } catch(e) {
        throw new Error(`Error: \n${e}`);
    }
}

init.js

import { launchFromNode } from './launchFromNode.js'

(async () => {
    try {
        const fin = await launchFromNode();
        console.log(`You successfully connected from node with to a runtime with this fin instance: \n${fin}`);
    } catch(e) {
        throw new Error(`Error connecting to  from node: \n${e}`);
    }
})();
