获取当前应用到你的程序上的 macOS 设置项，会映射到 NSApplication.effectiveAppearance

需要注意的是，在 构建针对Electron 10.14 SDK 之前的版本时，你的程序的effectiveAppearance默认为 "light" 并且不会继承系统的设置。 In the interim in order for your application to inherit the OS preference you must set the NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance key in your apps Info.plist to false. If you are using electron-packager or electron-forge just set the enableDarwinDarkMode packager option to true. 查看 Electron Packager API 以获得更多细节。

systemPreferences.getEffectiveAppearance() macOS

Returns String - Can be dark, light or unknown.

Gets the macOS appearance setting that is currently applied to your application, maps to NSApplication.effectiveAppearance

Please note that until Electron is built targeting the 10.14 SDK, your application's effectiveAppearance will default to 'light' and won't inherit the OS preference. In the interim in order for your application to inherit the OS preference you must set the NSRequiresAquaSystemAppearance key in your apps Info.plist to false. If you are using electron-packager or electron-forge just set the enableDarwinDarkMode packager option to true. See the Electron Packager API for more details.

• appearance String | null - 可以是 dark 或 light

设定您的应用程序的外观设置，这应该覆盖系统默认值以及覆盖 getEffectiveAppearance 的值。

NOTE: This API will return false on macOS systems older than Sierra 10.12.2.

systemPreferences.canPromptTouchID() macOS

Returns Boolean - whether or not this device has the ability to use Touch ID.

NOTE: This API will return false on macOS systems older than Sierra 10.12.2.

systemPreferences.promptTouchID('To get consent for a Security-Gated Thing').then(success => {
  console.log('You have successfully authenticated with Touch ID!')
}).catch(err => {
  console.log(err)
})

This API itself will not protect your user data; rather, it is a mechanism to allow you to do so. Native apps will need to set Access Control Constants like kSecAccessControlUserPresence on the their keychain entry so that reading it would auto-prompt for Touch ID biometric consent. This could be done with node-keytar, such that one would store an encryption key with node-keytar and only fetch it if promptTouchID() resolves.

NOTE: This API will return a rejected Promise on macOS systems older than Sierra 10.12.2.

• mediaType String - the type of media being requested; can be microphone, camera.

Returns Promise<Boolean> - A promise that resolves with true if consent was granted and false if it was denied. If an invalid mediaType is passed, the promise will be rejected. If an access request was denied and later is changed through the System Preferences pane, a restart of the app will be required for the new permissions to take effect. If access has already been requested and denied, it must be changed through the preference pane; an alert will not pop up and the promise will resolve with the existing access status.

Important: In order to properly leverage this API, you must set the NSMicrophoneUsageDescription and NSCameraUsageDescription strings in your app's Info.plist file. The values for these keys will be used to populate the permission dialogs so that the user will be properly informed as to the purpose of the permission request. See Electron Application Distribution for more information about how to set these in the context of Electron.
