React Native macOS utility for launching an application on macOS.
Utility that allows you to open other installed apps from within your React Native macOS application.
React Native macOS is a very young implementation of React Native with support for macOS systems. Because of that, the library is not yet stable. There have been no successes for real-world applications built with react-native-macos yet. Proceed at your own risk.
Install component and save to dependencies:
npm i react-native-macos-app-opener --save
Link native modules to your project automatically with:
react-native-macos link
Or you can follow the same pattern seen in React Native iOS Library Linking.
The utility leverages NSWorkspace to launch an application passed through a parameter to AppOpener. If the application is already opened, the system will bring it to the front. If the application is closed, it will launch it.
import AppOpener from 'react-native-macos-app-opener';
AppOpener.openApp('Finder');
Please contribute! PRs are welcome and I'll do my best to extend and improve this utility.
