alfred-workflow-nodejs-next

Alfred 3 Workflow NodeJS Next library

Overview

A small library providing helpers to create Alfred Workflow. This is a forked version of https://github.com/giangvo/alfred-workflow-nodejs. This forked one is converted to ES6 and is simplified some APIs so this forked one is not completely compatible with original one.
Because alfred-workflow-nodejs-next returns JSON format to Alfred so this is compatible with Alfred 3 or above only.

Installation

• Use yarn: yarn add alfred-workflow-nodejs-next
• Use npm: npm install --save alfred-workflow-nodejs-next

If you have any issue with yarn or npm, run yarn run clean to remove all packages in node_modules folder.

Notes/Tips

• You can look at some tests in test folder in source code get more about usage.
• You can use console.trace('==========================', data) or console.warn('==========================', data) to debug code. DO NOT use console.log because it is used to return JSON string data to Alfred.
• Open "Toggle Debugging Mode" of Alfred to see all logs when developing.
