Get windows username using typescript or javascript

Question

In my angular 4 application I want to get windows username. Is it possible with typescript or java-script ? I am using the Chrome browser.

Answer 1

为了安全起见，我认为无法使用javascript / typescript从浏览器获取Windows OS用户信息。

Answer 2

Have you considered creating your application in Electron ?

Electron is an open source library developed by GitHub for building cross-platform desktop applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Electron accomplishes this by combining Chromium and Node.js into a single runtime and apps can be packaged for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Electron does not have the same security restrictions and you can still use Angular 4

If you choose to use Electron you can get userinfo through node.js os module:

The os.userInfo() method returns information about the currently effective user
