systemPreferences.getEffectiveAppearance() macOS

返回 String - 其值可能是 dark、light 或 unknown.

获取当前应用到你的程序上的 macOS 设置项，会映射到 NSApplication.effectiveAppearance

过时的

systemPreferences.getAppLevelAppearance() macOS Deprecated

返回 String | null - 其值可能为 dark、light 或 unknown。

Gets the macOS appearance setting that you have declared you want for your application, maps to NSApplication.appearance. 您可以使用 setAppLevelAppearance API 来设置此值。

过时的

systemPreferences.setAppLevelAppearance(appearance) macOS Deprecated

设定您的应用程序的外观设置，这应该覆盖系统默认值以及覆盖 getEffectiveAppearance 的值。

过时的

systemPreferences.canPromptTouchID() macOS

Returns Boolean - whether or not this device has the ability to use Touch ID.

NOTE: This API will return false on macOS systems older than Sierra 10.12.2.

systemPreferences.promptTouchID(reason) macOS

• reason String - The reason you are asking for Touch ID authentication

Returns Promise<void> - resolves if the user has successfully authenticated with Touch ID.

const { systemPreferences } = require('electron')
systemPreferences.promptTouchID('To get consent for a Security-Gated Thing').then(success => {
  console.log('You have successfully authenticated with Touch ID!')
}).catch(err => {
  console.log(err)
})

This API itself will not protect your user data; rather, it is a mechanism to allow you to do so. Native apps will need to set Access Control Constants like kSecAccessControlUserPresence on the their keychain entry so that reading it would auto-prompt for Touch ID biometric consent. This could be done with node-keytar, such that one would store an encryption key with node-keytar and only fetch it if promptTouchID() resolves.

NOTE: This API will return a rejected Promise on macOS systems older than Sierra 10.12.2.

systemPreferences.isTrustedAccessibilityClient(prompt) macOS

• prompt Boolean - whether or not the user will be informed via prompt if the current process is untrusted.

Returns Boolean - true if the current process is a trusted accessibility client and false if it is not.

systemPreferences.getMediaAccessStatus(mediaType) macOS

• mediaType String - Can be microphone, camera or screen.

Returns String - Can be not-determined, granted, denied, restricted or unknown.

This user consent was not required on macOS 10.13 High Sierra or lower so this method will always return granted. macOS 10.14 Mojave or higher requires consent for microphone and camera access. macOS 10.15 Catalina or higher requires consent for screen access.

systemPreferences.askForMediaAccess(mediaType) macOS

• mediaType String - the type of media being requested; can be microphone, camera.

Returns Promise<Boolean> - A promise that resolves with true if consent was granted and false if it was denied. If an invalid mediaType is passed, the promise will be rejected. If an access request was denied and later is changed through the System Preferences pane, a restart of the app will be required for the new permissions to take effect. If access has already been requested and denied, it must be changed through the preference pane; an alert will not pop up and the promise will resolve with the existing access status.

Important: In order to properly leverage this API, you must set the NSMicrophoneUsageDescription and NSCameraUsageDescription strings in your app’s Info.plist file. The values for these keys will be used to populate the permission dialogs so that the user will be properly informed as to the purpose of the permission request. See Electron Application Distribution for more information about how to set these in the context of Electron.

This user consent was not required until macOS 10.14 Mojave, so this method will always return true if your system is running 10.13 High Sierra or lower.

systemPreferences.getAnimationSettings()

返回 Object:

• shouldRenderRichAnimation Boolean - Returns true if rich animations should be rendered. Looks at session type (e.g. remote desktop) and accessibility settings to give guidance for heavy animations.
• scrollAnimationsEnabledBySystem Boolean - Determines on a per-platform basis whether scroll animations (e.g. produced by home/end key) should be enabled.
• prefersReducedMotion Boolean - Determines whether the user desires reduced motion based on platform APIs.

Returns an object with system animation settings.
