openurl – Node.js module for opening URLs
openurl is a Node.js module for opening a URL via the operating system. This will usually trigger actions such as:
- http URLs: open the default browser
- mailto URLs: open the default email client
- file URLs: open a window showing the directory (on OS X)
Example interaction on the Node.js REPL:
> require("openurl").open("http://rauschma.de")
> require("openurl").open("mailto:john@example.com")
You can generate emails as follows:
require("openurl").mailto(["john@example.com", "jane@example.com"],
{ subject: "Hello!", body: "This is\nan automatically sent email!\n" });
Install via npm:
npm install openurl
I’m not yet terribly familiar with implementing npm packages, so any feedback is welcome (especially experience reports on Windows and Linux, which I can’t test on).
