The experience of using Node.JS with TypeScript, ts-node, and ESM is horrible.

There are countless guides of how to integrate them, but none of them seem to work.

Here's what worked for me.

Just add the following files and run npm run dev. You'll be good to go!

package.json

dreness

find /System/Library/LaunchDaemons /System/Library/LaunchAgents -name "*.plist" \
 | while read p ; do plutil -convert json -o - ${p} \
 | jq -r ' .. | objects | with_entries(select(.key == "Notification")) | select(. != {}).Notification'
 done | sort -u > ~/Desktop/all-launchd-notifications.txt

How to use this gist

You've got two main options:

diogox

-- Make sure commandline client (/usr/local/bin/hs) is installed
-- and IPC module is running.
require("hs.ipc")

local logger = hs.logger.new("ipc", "info")

local path = "/usr/local"

-- On Macs with Apple chips, install cli in /opt/homebrew/ with Homebrew
-- as /usr/local doesn't seem to be writable.
