This library will not run in web browsers / on the client-side / in webpack / in browserify / in angular / in react / in jQuery / in HTML. It will only run on Node.js environments, which the web browser is not. ## Usage [Complete API Documentation.](http://master.getmac.bevry.surge.sh/docs/) ### CLI Install globally `npm install -g getmac`, then run with `getmac-node` ### API Install locally `npm install --save getmac`, then use like so: ```javascript import getMAC, { isMAC } from 'getmac' // Fetch the computer's MAC address console.log(getMAC()) // Fetch the computer's MAC address for a specific interface console.log(getMAC('eth0')) // Validate that an address is a MAC address if (isMAC('e4:ce:8f:5b:a7:fc')) { console.log('valid MAC') } else { console.log('invalid MAC') } ``` ### Advanced If you want to do advanced filtering, use [`os.networkInterfaces()`](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v12.x/docs/api/os.html#os_os_networkinterfaces) instead.  ## Install ### [npm](https://npmjs.com "npm is a package manager for javascript") - Install: `npm install --save getmac` - Import: `import pkg from ('getmac')` - Require: `const pkg = require('getmac').default` ### [Deno](https://deno.land "Deno is a secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript, it is an alternative for Node.js") ``` typescript import pkg from 'https://unpkg.com/getmac@^6.6.0/edition-deno/index.ts' ``` ### [Editions](https://editions.bevry.me "Editions are the best way to produce and consume packages you care about.")
