	"github.com/gentlemanautomaton/winapp/unpackaged/appregistry"
)

func main() {
	for _, view := range appregistry.Views {
		fmt.Printf("---- %s ----\n", view.Name())

		apps, err := view.List()
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Printf("Error: %v\n", err)
			continue
		}

		for _, app := range apps {
			line := string(app.ID)
			attrs := app.Attributes
			if name := attrs.GetString("DisplayName"); name != "" {
				line += ": " + name
			}
			if version := attrs.GetString("DisplayVersion"); version != "" {
				line += " [" + version + "]"
			}
			fmt.Printf("  %s\n", line)
		}
	}

Variables

var (
	// Global32 accesses the 32-bit global application registry.
	Global32 = global32

	// Global64 accesses the 64-bit global application registry.
	Global64 = global64

	// User32 accesses the 32-bit user application registry.
	User32 = user32

	// User64 accesses the 64-bit user application registry.
	User64 = user64
)

var Views = []View{Global32, Global64, User32, User64}

Views is a slice of all available application views.

Types

type View

type View struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

View provides a view of the global or user application registry, either 32-bit or 64-bit.

func (View) Add

func (v View) Add(app unpackaged.App) error

Add attempts to add the given unpackaged app to the Windows registry.

It returns an error if an application or component with the given ID already exists.

func (View) Get

func (v View) Get(id unpackaged.AppID) (unpackaged.App, error)

Add attempts to add the given application component to the Windows registry.

func (View) List

func (v View) List() (unpackaged.AppList, error)

Add attempts to add the given application component to the Windows registry.

It returns an error if a component with the given ID already exists.

func (View) Name

func (v View) Name() string

Name returns the name of the view.

func (View) Remove

func (v View) Remove(id unpackaged.AppID) error

Remove attempts to remove the given unpackaged app ID from the Windows registry.

It does _not_ run the component's uninstall command. It is the caller's responsibility to properly remove the component's files before removing it from the registry.
