You can use the os
module in Node.js to get the system name in JavaScript. Here's an example code:
index.tsx111 chars4 lines
Note that this method only works on the server-side when using Node.js. If you're running JavaScript in the browser, you won't be able to access the system name directly as JavaScript running in web browsers is sandboxed for security reasons.
Another way of getting the system name on the server-side is to read the environment variable COMPUTERNAME
(for Windows systems) or HOSTNAME
(for Unix-based systems) using process.env
. Here's an example code:
index.tsx120 chars3 lines
Keep in mind that the environment variables approach may not work on every system or setup, so using the os
module is the most reliable way of getting the system name.
