Documentation

Usage

This little code snipped shows how to read the current CPU temperature:

// import the class
const { SystemInfo } = require('macos-system-info');

// create a new instance of the class and open the connection to the SMC
const systemInfo = new SystemInfo();
systemInfo.open();

// read the cpu temperature
console.log(systemInfo.getCpuTemp());

// close the connection to the SMC
systemInfo.close();

If you are using typescript you can use named imports:

// import the class
import { SystemInfo } from 'macos-system-info';

// create a new instance of the class and open the connection to the SMC
const systemInfo: SystemInfo = new SystemInfo();
systemInfo.open();

// read the cpu temperature
console.log(systemInfo.getCpuTemp());

// close the connection to the SMC
systemInfo.close();

macos-system-info's Issues

Change name of "isOnAc"-method

The name "isOnAc" is not very clear since this function only returns true when the battery is charging. Hence the name should be changed to something like "isCharginBattery".
