get-windows-env

Get a list of system or user environment variables on windows.

Why not just process.env?

If you want to differentiate between user and system variables this package is for you. Otherwise process.env works just fine.

Example

See test/index.js for full examples.

import {
  getUserEnv,
  getSystemEnv
} from 'get-windows-env'
 
getSystemEnv().then(registry => console.log(registry))
/* =>
 * [
 *   {
 *     name: 'TEMP',
 *      type: 'REG_EXPAND_SZ',
 *      path: '%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\Temp'
 *   },
 *   {
 *     name: 'TMP',
 *     type: 'REG_EXPAND_SZ',
 *     path: '%USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\Temp'
 *   },
 *   
 *   ...
 * ]
 */
