  • Provides access to the OpenFin representation of the current code context (usually a document such as a View or Window), as well as to the current Interop context.

    Useful for debugging in the devtools console, where this will intelligently type itself based on the context in which the devtools panel was opened.

    Returns Identity

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<Application>

    Remarks

    Caution: Calling this method changes the array indices in the listener array behind the listener.

  • Removes the application’s icon from the tray.

    Returns Promise<void>

    Example

    async function removeTrayIcon() {
    const app = await fin.Application.getCurrent();
    return await app.removeTrayIcon();
    }

    removeTrayIcon().then(() => console.log('Removed the tray icon.')).catch(err => console.log(err));
  • Restarts the application.

    Returns Promise<void>

    Example

    async function restartApp() {
    const app = await fin.Application.getCurrent();
    return await app.restart();
    }
    restartApp().then(() => console.log('Application restarted')).catch(err => console.log(err));
  • Instructs the RVM to schedule one restart of the application.

    Returns Promise<void>

    Example

    async function scheduleRestart() {
    const app = await fin.Application.getCurrent();
    return await app.scheduleRestart();
    }

    scheduleRestart().then(() => console.log('Application is scheduled to restart')).catch(err => console.log(err));
  • Sends a message to the RVM to upload the application's logs. On success, an object containing logId is returned.

    Returns Promise<SendApplicationLogResponse>

    Example

    async function sendLog() {
    const app = await fin.Application.getCurrent();
    return await app.sendApplicationLog();
    }

    sendLog().then(info => console.log(info.logId)).catch(err => console.log(err));
  • Sets a username to correlate with App Log Management.

    Parameters

    • username: string

      Username to correlate with App's Log.

    Returns Promise<void>

    Example

    async function setAppLogUser() {
    const app = await fin.Application.getCurrent();
    return await app.setAppLogUsername('username');
    }

    setAppLogUser().then(() => console.log('Success')).catch(err => console.log(err));
  • Sets file auto download location. It's only allowed in the same application.

    Note: This method is restricted by default and must be enabled via API security settings.

    Parameters

    • downloadLocation: string

      file auto download location

    Returns Promise<void>

    Throws

    if setting file auto download location on different applications.

    Example

    const downloadLocation = 'C:\\dev\\temp';
    const app = await fin.Application.getCurrent();
    try {
    await app.setFileDownloadLocation(downloadLocation);
    console.log('File download location is set');
    } catch(err) {
    console.error(err)
    }
  • Sets or removes a custom JumpList for the application. Only applicable in Windows OS. If categories is null the previously set custom JumpList (if any) will be replaced by the standard JumpList for the app (managed by Windows).

    Note: If the "name" property is omitted it defaults to "tasks".

    Parameters

    • jumpListCategories: null | JumpListCategory[]

      An array of JumpList Categories to populate. If null, remove any existing JumpList configuration and set to Windows default.

    Returns Promise<void>

    Remarks

    If categories is null the previously set custom JumpList (if any) will be replaced by the standard JumpList for the app (managed by Windows).

    The bottommost item in the jumplist will always be an item pointing to the current app. Its name is taken from the manifest's shortcut.name and uses shortcut.company as a fallback. Clicking that item will launch the app from its current manifest.

    Note: If the "name" property is omitted it defaults to "tasks".

    Note: Window OS caches jumplists icons, therefore an icon change might only be visible after the cache is removed or the uuid or shortcut.name is changed.

    Example

        const app = fin.Application.getCurrentSync();
    const appName = 'My App';
    const jumpListConfig = [ // array of JumpList categories
    {
    // has no name and no type so `type` is assumed to be "tasks"
    items: [ // array of JumpList items
    {
    type: 'task',
    title: `Launch ${appName}`,
    description: `Runs ${appName} with the default configuration`,
    deepLink: 'fins://path.to/app/manifest.json',
    iconPath: 'https://path.to/app/icon.ico',
    iconIndex: 0
    },
    { type: 'separator' },
    {
    type: 'task',
    title: `Restore ${appName}`,
    description: 'Restore to last configuration',
    deepLink: 'fins://path.to/app/manifest.json?$$use-last-configuration=true',
    iconPath: 'https://path.to/app/icon.ico',
    iconIndex: 0
    },
    ]
    },
    {
    name: 'Tools',
    items: [ // array of JumpList items
    {
    type: 'task',
    title: 'Tool A',
    description: 'Runs Tool A',
    deepLink: 'fins://path.to/tool-a/manifest.json',
    iconPath: 'https://path.to/tool-a/icon.ico',
    iconIndex: 0
    },
    {
    type: 'task',
    title: 'Tool B',
    description: 'Runs Tool B',
    deepLink: 'fins://path.to/tool-b/manifest.json',
    iconPath: 'https://path.to/tool-b/icon.ico',
    iconIndex: 0
    }]
    }
    ];

    app.setJumpList(jumpListConfig).then(() => console.log('JumpList applied')).catch(e => console.log(`JumpList failed to apply: ${e.toString()}`));

    To handle deeplink args:

        function handleUseLastConfiguration() {
    // this handler is called when the app is being launched
    app.on('run-requested', event => {
    if(event.userAppConfigArgs['use-last-configuration']) {
    // your logic here
    }
    });
    // this handler is called when the app was already running when the launch was requested
    fin.desktop.main(function(args) {
    if(args && args['use-last-configuration']) {
    // your logic here
    }
    });
    }
  • Sets the query string in all shortcuts for this app. Requires RVM 5.5+.

    Parameters

    • queryString: string

      The new query string for this app's shortcuts.

    Returns Promise<void>

    Example

    const newQueryArgs = 'arg=true&arg2=false';
    const app = await fin.Application.getCurrent();
    try {
    await app.setShortcutQueryParams(newQueryArgs);
    } catch(err) {
    console.error(err)
    }
  • Sets new application's shortcut configuration. Windows only.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<void>

    Remarks

    Example

    async function setShortcuts(config) {
    const app = await fin.Application.getCurrent();
    return app.setShortcuts(config);
    }

    setShortcuts({
    desktop: true,
    startMenu: false,
    systemStartup: true
    }).then(() => console.log('Shortcuts are set.')).catch(err => console.log(err));

    Throws

    if the application has no tray icon set

    Throws

    if the system tray is currently hidden

    Example

    const app = fin.Application.getCurrentSync();

    await app.setTrayIcon(iconUrl);

    const template = [
    {
