node-system-extension

Allow Electron to install a system extension

Requires GCD, so will need to run on something running NSRunLoop. In modern electron the render processes don't run NSRunLoop.

Prerequisites

• You will need a SystemExtension in PACKAGE/Contents/Library/SystemExtensions
• You will need to copy your app to /Applications before you run it.
• You will need the entitlement com.apple.developer.system-extension.install in your electron app.

Usage

const SystemExtension = require('node-system-extension');

SystemExtension.setDebug(true);
SystemExtension.install("com.example.name.Extension", (reason, ident, result) => {
  console.log("got event:", reason, ident, result);
});
