Electron.Screen

Interop for electron's screen module

Documentation

displays : Signal (List Display)

A Signal for all of the Displays currently available on the machine. Receives updates on the display-added, display-removed, and display-metrics-changed events of the native module. electron docs

getCursorScreenPoint : () -> Task x Point

Request the current point of the mouse on the user's screen. Note: this is point on the actual screen, meaning that placing the mouse cursor in the top- left corner of the screen will yield { x = 0, y = 0 }. electron docs

getPrimaryDisplay : () -> Task x Display

Request info on the user's primary display. electron docs

getAllDisplays: () -> Task x (List Display)

Request the list of all displays at a single point in time, in case you don't need the Signal and only want a one-off list. electron docs

getDisplayNearestPoint : Point -> Task x Dislpay

Request the display closest to the given Point. Useful to detect the display in which the user's cursor currently resides via getCursorScreenPoint. electron docs

getDisplayMatching : Rect -> Task x Display

Request the display most contained by a given Rect. electron docs
