get system type in typescript

To get the system type (OS type) in TypeScript, we can use the os module provided by Node.js. Here's an example code snippet:

index.ts
import * as os from 'os';

const systemType: string = os.type(); // returns the operating system name

console.log(systemType); // prints the name of the operating system (e.g. "Windows_NT", "Darwin", "Linux")
210 chars
6 lines

In the code above, we use the import statement to import the os module from Node.js. We then call the os.type() function to get the name of the operating system. The returned value is of type string, which we can then assign to a variable (systemType in this case) and use as needed.

Note that this code requires Node.js to be installed on your system. If you're running TypeScript in the browser (using a tool like webpack or Parcel), you might not have access to the os module, and will need to use a different approach.
