node-reg

A very simple, and incomplete registry editor for Node.js

Installation

$ npm install --save node-reg

api

Include node-reg in your project

var regedit = require('node-reg');

Currently node-reg only has two methods:

• addKey
• getKey

Both take a single object parameter. The expected format for both is:

{
    target: 'Location-in-registry',
    name: 'Name of key',
    value: 'Value for key',
    type: 'The data type'
}

All attributes are necessary in addKey, however only target is necessary for getKey. Name and type are optional for getKey, and value is unused.

Example

var regedit = require('node-reg');
 
regedit.addKey({
    target: 'HKCU\\Software\\TestDemo',
    name: 'MyApp',
    value: 'heyLookAValue',
    type: 'REG_SZ'
}).then(function(result) {
    console.log(result)
});
 
regedit.getKey({
    target: 'HKCU\\Software\\TestDemo'
}).then(funciton(result) {
    console.log(result);
});

Notes

• If a name isn't specified, getKey will return a list of all keys in the target location. If one is specified, it will return the single value (or a message indicating none is available).

TODO

• Better code documentation
• Testing
• Error handling
