System (Hardware)

In this section you will learn how to get basic system hardware data. We will cover the system, baseboard and bios:

For function reference and examples we assume, that we imported systeminspector as follows:

const si = require('@ambicuity/systeminspector');

System

All functions in this section return a promise or can be called with a callback function (parameter cb in the function reference)

Examples

Example

const si = require('@ambicuity/systeminspector');
si.system().then(data => console.log(data));

  serial: 'C01xxxxxxxx',
  uuid: 'F87654-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx',
  sku: 'Mac-99878xxxx...',
  virtual: false,
}

Example
