Events

Events are used to execute functions when certain events happen. This page describes them in detail. Events are available in Slate versions 1.0.25 and above.

Usage

slate.on(event, function(event) { // some events will pass another argument in addition to the event name
  // do something
});

Examples

// When a window is opened, if the application is iTerm, move it to the screen's origin
slate.on("windowOpened", function(event, win) {
  if (win.app().name() === "iTerm") {
    win.move({ "x" : "screenOriginX", "y" : "screenOriginY" });
  }
});

// When an app is hidden, log the application's name to the OS X Console.
slate.on("appHidden", function(event, app) {
  slate.log(app.name());
});
