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

mac-focus-window

Focus a window and bring it to the front on macOS

Requires accessibility permissions.

Requires macOS 10.12 or later. macOS 10.13 or earlier needs to download the Swift runtime support libraries.

Install

$ npm install mac-focus-window

Usage

const focusWindow = require('mac-focus-window');

if (focusWindow.isSupported && focusWindow.hasPermissions()) {
  focusWindow(12345);

  // true
} else {
  focusWindow.requestPermissions();
}

API

focusWindow(windowNumber: number | string): Boolean

Focus the given window and bring it to the front.

An error will be thrown if:

  • Accessibility permissions are not enabled for the current app
  • You provide windowNumber as a string, but it's not a number
  • There is no window with the given number

Returns true if the window was focused successfully, and false otherwise.

focusWindow.isSupported

Will be true if the module is supported (based on macOS version).

focusWindow.hasPermissions(): Boolean

Check if the current app has accessibility permissions. This will not prompt the user with the system dialog.

Returns true if the app has permissions, and false otherwise.

focusWindow.checkPermissions(): Boolean

Same as hasPermissions, but it will present the user with the native permissions dialog.

Notes:

  • The permissions dialog will only be shown if the app doesn't have permissions
  • The user has to go into the System Preferences to give access, so if the app doesn't have permissions, this will return false immediately after presenting the dialog. You have to check again after the user has granted the permissions for this to be true (restart of the app not required)
