## ๐ต๐ผ Usage
Install it by executing:
```shell
npm i "@igor.dvlpr/registry-apppaths"
```
## ๐คน๐ผ API
`getAppPaths(): string[]`
Returns an array of sub-keys located in the AppPaths key.
```ts
import { getAppPaths } from '@igor.dvlpr/registry-apppaths'
const apps: string[] = getAppPaths()
console.log(apps) // ['chrome.exe', 'firefox.exe', 'opera.exe'...]
```
`hasAppPaths(list: string[]): boolean[]`
Returns an array of Booleans indicating whether the entries of the parameter **list** are installed on the system.
```ts
import { hasAppPaths } from '@igor.dvlpr/registry-apppaths'
const has: boolean[] = hasAppPaths(['chrome.exe', 'winword.exe', 'mspaintTYPO.exe'])
console.log(has) // [true, true, false]
```
`refreshAppPaths(): void`
Force refresh the info from the registry, instead of retrieving the cached data.
```ts
import { getAppPaths, refreshAppPaths } from '@igor.dvlpr/registry-apppaths'
let apps: string[] = getAppPaths()
console.log(apps) // ['chrome.exe', 'firefox.exe', 'opera.exe'...]
// application install...
// we installed Word for example
refreshAppPaths()
apps = getAppPaths()
console.log(apps) // ['chrome.exe', 'firefox.exe', 'opera.exe', 'winword.exe'...]
```
