Accessors

  • get me(): Identity
  • Provides access to the OpenFin representation of the current code context (usually a document such as a View or Window), as well as to the current Interop context.

    Useful for debugging in the devtools console, where this will intelligently type itself based on the context in which the devtools panel was opened.

    Returns Identity

Methods

  • Returns (string | symbol)[]

  • Retrieves information about the external application.

    Returns Promise<ExternalApplicationInfo>
