XTSB

X11 TypeScript Bindings.

Wip, although probably already quite usable. Not published on NPM yet.

Currently only works in Node.

Originally created for use in Greenfield.

Build

yarn install

Usage

example:

import { connect, EventMask, WindowClass } from 'xtsb'

async function main() {
  // create a new connection to the x server using the default environment variable DISPLAY
  const connection = await connect()

  // allocate a new windowId
  const windowId = connection.allocateID()

  // create a new window in a non-blocking way, we can optionally call 'check()' on the returned result so we receive a 'Promsise<void>' that can be 'await'ed.
  connection.createWindow(
    0,
    windowId,
    connection.setup.roots[0].root,
    0,
    0,
    150,
    150,
    0,
    WindowClass.InputOutput,
    0,
    { eventMask: EventMask.StructureNotify }
  )

  // query the window child tree and wait for the reply
  const queryTreeReply = await connection.queryTree(windowId)
  console.log(queryTreeReply.parent)

  // set the on destroy notify event listener
  connection.onDestroyNotifyEvent = event => {
    console.log(event.window)
  }

  // destroy the window and explicitly block & check if the request succeeded
  await connection.destroyWindow(windowId).check()
}

main()
