Mouse tracking for OS X. Receive the screen position of various mouse events. The events are also emitted while another application is in the foreground.
Tested in OS X 10.10 with node versions 0.10 and 0.12, and latest iojs.
npm install osx-mouse
The module returns an event emitter instance.
var mouse = require('osx-mouse')();
mouse.on('move', function(x, y) {
console.log(x, y);
});The program will not terminate as long as a mouse listener is active. To allow the program to exit, either call mouse.unref (works as unref/ref on a TCP server) or mouse.destroy().
The events emitted are: move, left-down, left-up, left-drag, right-up, right-down and right-drag. For each event the screen coordinates are passed to the handler function.
