Overview

Package scriptingbridge provides a fluent Go API over the macOS ScriptingBridge framework.

Each With… method sets one property and returns its receiver, so configuration calls can be chained.

Types

Each base type below lists the concrete types you construct and pass where the base is accepted:

Types

type Application 

type Application struct {
	Object
}

Application is an idiomatic wrapper over the Objective-C class SBApplication.

It embeds Object, promoting that type's methods.

The SBApplication class provides a mechanism enabling an Objective-C program to send Apple events to a scriptable application and receive Apple events in response. It thereby makes it possible for that program to control the application and exchange data with it. Scripting Bridge works by bridging data types between Apple event descriptors and Cocoa objects.

func ApplicationFromID 

func ApplicationFromID(id objc.ID) *Application

ApplicationFromID adopts an existing Objective-C object as a Application (nil for 0), retaining it and registering a release finalizer.

func ApplicationWithBundleIdentifier 

func ApplicationWithBundleIdentifier(ident string) *Application

ApplicationWithBundleIdentifier returns the shared instance representing the target application specified by its bundle identifier.

func ApplicationWithProcessIdentifier 

func ApplicationWithProcessIdentifier(pid int) *Application

ApplicationWithProcessIdentifier returns the shared instance representing a target application specified by its process identifier.

func ApplicationWithURL 

func ApplicationWithURL(url string) *Application

ApplicationWithURL returns the shared instance representing a target application specified by the given URL.

func NewApplicationWithBundleIdentifier 

func NewApplicationWithBundleIdentifier(ident string) *Application

NewApplicationWithBundleIdentifier returns an instance of an SBApplication subclass that represents the target application identified by the given bundle identifier.

func NewApplicationWithProcessIdentifier 

func NewApplicationWithProcessIdentifier(pid int) *Application

NewApplicationWithProcessIdentifier returns an instance of an SBApplication subclass that represents the target application identified by the given process identifier.

func NewApplicationWithURL 

func NewApplicationWithURL(url string) *Application

NewApplicationWithURL returns an instance of an SBApplication subclass that represents the target application identified by the given URL.

func (*Application) Activate 

func (a *Application) Activate()

Activate moves the target application to the foreground immediately.

func (*Application) IsRunning 

func (a *Application) IsRunning() bool

IsRunning reports whether a Boolean that indicates whether the target application represented by the receiver is running. <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/swift/true> if the application is running, <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/swift/false> otherwise. This may be <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/swift/true> for instances initialized with a bundle identifier or URL because `SBApplication` launches the application only when it's necessary to send it an event.

func (*Application) SendMode 

func (a *Application) SendMode() int

SendMode returns the mode for sending Apple events to the target application. For more information, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/applicationservices/apple_event_manager>. The default send mode is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/coreservices/1542914-anonymous/kaewaitreply>. If the send mode is something other than `kAEWaitReply`, the receiver might not correctly handle reply events from the target application.

func (*Application) Timeout 

func (a *Application) Timeout() int

Timeout returns the period the application will wait to receive reply Apple events. For more information, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/applicationservices/apple_event_manager>. The default timeout value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/coreservices/1542814-timeout_constants/kaedefaulttimeout>, which is about a minute. If you want the receiver to wait indefinitely for reply Apple events, use <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/coreservices/1542814-timeout_constants/knotimeout>. For more information, see <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/applicationservices/apple_event_manager>.

func (*Application) WithSendMode 

func (a *Application) WithSendMode(sendMode int) *Application

WithSendMode sets the mode for sending Apple events to the target application.

func (*Application) WithTimeout 

func (a *Application) WithTimeout(timeout int) *Application

WithTimeout sets the period the application will wait to receive reply Apple events.

type ElementArray 

type ElementArray struct {
	objref.Handle
}

ElementArray is an idiomatic wrapper over the Objective-C class SBElementArray.

SBElementArray is subclass of NSMutableArray that manages collections of related SBObject objects. For example, when you ask the Finder for a list of disks, or ask iTunes for a list of playlists, you get the result back as an SBElementArray containing Scripting Bridge objects representing those items.

func ElementArrayFromID 

func ElementArrayFromID(id objc.ID) *ElementArray

ElementArrayFromID adopts an existing Objective-C object as a ElementArray (nil for 0), retaining it and registering a release finalizer.

func NewElementArray 

func NewElementArray() *ElementArray

NewElementArray creates a new ElementArray.

func (*ElementArray) Description added in v0.10.0 

func (ea *ElementArray) Description() string

Description returns the object's -description text.

func (*ElementArray) Get 

func (ea *ElementArray) Get() []obj.Object

Get returns forces evaluation of the receiver, causing the real object to be returned immediately.

func (*ElementArray) IsEqual added in v0.10.0 

func (ea *ElementArray) IsEqual(other obj.Object) bool

IsEqual reports Objective-C equality (isEqual:) with another object.

func (*ElementArray) IsKind added in v0.10.0 

func (ea *ElementArray) IsKind(className string) bool

IsKind reports whether the object is an instance of the named class or a subclass.

func (*ElementArray) ObjectAtLocation 

func (ea *ElementArray) ObjectAtLocation(location obj.Object) obj.Object

ObjectAtLocation returns the object at the given location in the receiver.

func (*ElementArray) ObjectWithID 

func (ea *ElementArray) ObjectWithID(identifier obj.Object) obj.Object

ObjectWithID returns the object in the array with the given identifier.

func (*ElementArray) ObjectWithName 

func (ea *ElementArray) ObjectWithName(name string) obj.Object

ObjectWithName returns the object in the array with the given name.

func (*ElementArray) String added in v0.10.0 

func (ea *ElementArray) String() string

String returns the object's -description text, so a wrapper prints usefully under fmt.

type Object 

type Object struct {
	objref.Handle
}

Object is an idiomatic wrapper over the Objective-C class SBObject.

Object is an abstract base — you do not construct it directly. Construct one of Application and pass it where a Object is accepted.

The SBObject class declares methods that can be invoked on any object in a scriptable application. It defines methods for getting elements and properties of an object, as well as setting a given object to a new value.

func NewObjectWithData 

func NewObjectWithData(data obj.Object) *Object

NewObjectWithData returns an instance of an SBObject subclass initialized with the given data.

func NewObjectWithElementCodePropertiesData 

func NewObjectWithElementCodePropertiesData(code int, properties obj.Object, data obj.Object) *Object

NewObjectWithElementCodePropertiesData returns an instance of an SBObject subclass initialized with the specified properties and data and added to the designated element array.

func NewObjectWithProperties 

func NewObjectWithProperties(properties obj.Object) *Object

NewObjectWithProperties returns an instance of an SBObject subclass initialized with the specified properties.

func ObjectFromID 

func ObjectFromID(id objc.ID) *Object

ObjectFromID adopts an existing Objective-C object as a Object (nil for 0), retaining it and registering a release finalizer.

func (*Object) Description added in v0.10.0 

func (o *Object) Description() string

Description returns the object's -description text.

func (*Object) ElementArrayWithCode 

func (o *Object) ElementArrayWithCode(code int) obj.Object

ElementArrayWithCode returns an array containing every child of the receiver with the given class-type code.

func (*Object) Get 

func (o *Object) Get() obj.Object

Get returns forces evaluation of the receiver, causing the real object to be returned immediately.

func (*Object) IsEqual added in v0.10.0 

func (o *Object) IsEqual(other obj.Object) bool

IsEqual reports Objective-C equality (isEqual:) with another object.

func (*Object) IsKind added in v0.10.0 

func (o *Object) IsKind(className string) bool

IsKind reports whether the object is an instance of the named class or a subclass.

func (*Object) PropertyWithCode 

func (o *Object) PropertyWithCode(code int) *Object

PropertyWithCode returns an object representing the specified property of the receiver.

func (*Object) SetTo 

func (o *Object) SetTo(value obj.Object)

SetTo sets the receiver to a specified value.

func (*Object) String added in v0.10.0 

func (o *Object) String() string

String returns the object's -description text, so a wrapper prints usefully under fmt.

type ObjectProvider 

type ObjectProvider interface {
	objref.Object
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

ObjectProvider is accepted wherever a SBObject (or one of its subclasses) is expected.
