Class ExternalApplicationModule

Provides access to the OpenFin representation of the current code context (usually a document such as a OpenFin.View or OpenFin.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.

Asynchronously returns an External Application object that represents an external application.
It is possible to wrap a process that does not yet exist, (for example, to listen for startup-related events) provided its uuid is already known.

Example

fin.ExternalApplication.wrap('javaApp-uuid');
.then(extApp => console.log('wrapped external application'))
.catch(err => console.log(err));
