I've been looking for a native nodejs module that supports mouse and keyboard listening and execution
i found this.. https://npmjs.org/package/mouse but the source code looks like it only supports the browsers.
I've been working on a module for sending mouse and keyboard events, RobotJS.
Example code:
var robot = require("robotjs");
//Get the mouse position, retuns an object with x and y.
var mouse=robot.getMousePos();
console.log("Mouse is at x:" + mouse.x + " y:" + mouse.y);
//Move the mouse down by 100 pixels.
robot.moveMouse(mouse.x,mouse.y+100);
//Left click!
robot.mouseClick();
Then for listening I use nw.js:
You can wrap the Robot Class provided by Java for a cross platform solution using the node-java module.
Working example:
var java = require('java');
var Robot = java.import('java.awt.Robot');
var robot = new Robot();
robot.mouseMoveSync(0, 0);
Take a look at https://github.com/Loknar/node-macmouse
$ npm install macmouse
var mouse = require('macmouse');
mouse.init();
var ptX = 800;
var ptY = 600;
var doThings = function() {
mouse.Place(ptX, ptY);
setTimeout(pressAndHold, 250);
}
var pressAndHold = function() {
mouse.LeftButtonPress();
setTimeout(doDragStuff, 250);
}
var doDragStuff = function() {
ptX += 2;
ptY += 2;
mouse.DragPlace(ptX, ptY);
setTimeout(doDragStuff, 250);
}
doThings();
mouse.quit();
