regedit-simple

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

These functions are enough for me. Need more? Create issue!

Installation

$ npm install --save regedit-simple

Example

var regedit = require('regedit-simple');

// simplifed version
regedit.addKey({
	target: 'HKCU\\Software\\TestDemo',
	name: 'MyApp',
	value: 'heyLookAValue',
	type: 'REG_SZ'
}).then(function(result) {
	console.log(result);
	// get own data
	regedit.getKey({
		target: 'HKCU\\Software\\TestDemo'
	}).then(function(result) {
		console.log(result);
		// destroy own data
		regedit.delete({
			target: 'HKCU\\Software\\TestDemo'
		}).then(function(result) {
			console.log(result);
		})
	})
})

Api

Include in your project

var regedit = require('regedit-simple');

regedit.get(string target)

Get at what is contained in a particular Registry key(target)

regedit.query('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\7-Zip').then(funciton(data){
	//example data
	data={
		ths: 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\7-Zip',
		values:
		{
			Path64: 'C:\\Program Files\\7-Zip\\',
			Path: 'C:\\Program Files\\7-Zip\\' 
		},
		valuesTypes: {
			Path64: 'REG_SZ',
			Path: 'REG_SZ'

	}
});
