# screen
|
|
|
|
The `screen` module retrieves information about screen size, displays, cursor
|
|
position, etc. You should not use this module until the `ready` event of the
|
|
`app` module is emitted.
|
|
|
|
`screen` is an [EventEmitter](http://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_events_eventemitter).
|
|
|
|
**Note:** In the renderer / DevTools, `window.screen` is a reserved
|
|
DOM property, so writing `var screen = require('screen')` will not work. In our
|
|
examples below, we use `electronScreen` as the variable name instead.
|
|
|
|
An example of creating a window that fills the whole screen:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var app = require('app');
|
|
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window');
|
|
|
|
var mainWindow;
|
|
|
|
app.on('ready', function() {
|
|
var electronScreen = require('screen');
|
|
var size = electronScreen.getPrimaryDisplay().workAreaSize;
|
|
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: size.width, height: size.height });
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Another example of creating a window in the external display:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var app = require('app');
|
|
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window');
|
|
|
|
var mainWindow;
|
|
|
|
app.on('ready', function() {
|
|
var electronScreen = require('screen');
|
|
var displays = electronScreen.getAllDisplays();
|
|
var externalDisplay = null;
|
|
for (var i in displays) {
|
|
if (displays[i].bounds.x != 0 || displays[i].bounds.y != 0) {
|
|
externalDisplay = displays[i];
|
|
break;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if (externalDisplay) {
|
|
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
|
|
x: externalDisplay.bounds.x + 50,
|
|
y: externalDisplay.bounds.y + 50
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Events
|
|
|
|
The `screen` module emits the following events:
|
|
|
|
### Event: 'display-added'
|
|
|
|
Returns:
|
|
|
|
* `event` Event
|
|
* `newDisplay` Object
|
|
|
|
Emitted when `newDisplay` has been added.
|
|
|
|
### Event: 'display-removed'
|
|
|
|
Returns:
|
|
|
|
* `event` Event
|
|
* `oldDisplay` Object
|
|
|
|
Emitted when `oldDisplay` has been removed.
|
|
|
|
### Event: 'display-metrics-changed'
|
|
|
|
Returns:
|
|
|
|
* `event` Event
|
|
* `display` Object
|
|
* `changedMetrics` Array
|
|
|
|
Emitted when one or more metrics change in a `display`. The `changedMetrics` is
|
|
an array of strings that describe the changes. Possible changes are `bounds`,
|
|
`workArea`, `scaleFactor` and `rotation`.
|
|
|
|
## Methods
|
|
|
|
The `screen` module has the following methods:
|
|
|
|
### `screen.getCursorScreenPoint()`
|
|
|
|
Returns the current absolute position of the mouse pointer.
|
|
|
|
### `screen.getPrimaryDisplay()`
|
|
|
|
Returns the primary display.
|
|
|
|
### `screen.getAllDisplays()`
|
|
|
|
Returns an array of displays that are currently available.
|
|
|
|
### `screen.getDisplayNearestPoint(point)`
|
|
|
|
* `point` Object
|
|
* `x` Integer
|
|
* `y` Integer
|
|
|
|
Returns the display nearest the specified point.
|
|
|
|
### `screen.getDisplayMatching(rect)`
|
|
|
|
* `rect` Object
|
|
* `x` Integer
|
|
* `y` Integer
|
|
* `width` Integer
|
|
* `height` Integer
|
|
|
|
Returns the display that most closely intersects the provided bounds.
