WIN-ICONS

A nodejs package that returns win base64 image data for a path's icon.

Asynchronous retrieval of file or folder icons

var { WinDefaultIcons } = require('icons-base64');
const defaultIcons = new WinDefaultIcons()

defaultIcons.getIcon("C:\\Users\\TATO\\Documents").then(data=>{
    console.log(data)
})

Synchronize to retrieve file or folder icons

var { WinDefaultIcons } = require('icons-base64');
const defaultIcons = new WinDefaultIcons()
const startTime = new Date().getTime()
for(let i=0;i<1000;i++){
    const str = defaultIcons.getIcon("C:\\Users\\TATO\\Documents");
}
console.log(new Date().getTime() - startTime)

PIPO to retrieve file or folder icons （Faster）

var { WinPIPOIcons } = require('icons-base64');
const pipoInons = new WinPIPOIcons()
const startTime = new Date().getTime()
pipoInons.emitter.on('icon', function(data){
    if(data.context == 999){
        console.log(new Date().getTime() - startTime)
    }
});
for(let i=0;i<1000;i++){
    pipoInons.getIcon(i, "C:\\Users\\TATO\\Documents");
}
