Win-Eject
=========
Win-Eject is a binding for DVD and CD drives. It currently only supports Windows and is dependent on VBScript. Inspired by [DiscDrive](https://github.com/brendanashworth/diskdrive) for OSX & Linux.
Argument is of type `Function`. It is always called upon completion. The argument sent to this callback function is an Object listing available drives.
Example usage:
```javascript
var winEject = require('win-eject');
// Get list of drives availiable
winEject.drives(function(drives){
console.log(drives);
});
```
First argument can be of type `string`. It specifies the mount / ID of the disk drive to eject. If no drive is specified or the string is blank `''` then *all* drives will be opened.
Second argument is of type `Function`. It is always called upon completion. This callback function is optional.
Example usage:
```javascript
// Eject all available disk drives.
// Note lack of callback (optional)
winEject.eject();
```
```javascript
// Eject disk of [drive].
winEject.eject('E:', function() {
console.log('Disc Drive E: ejected!');
});
```
First argument is of type `string`. It specifies the mount / ID of the disk drive to eject. If no drive is specified or the string is blank `''` then *all* drives will be closed.
Second argument is of type `Function`. It is always called upon completion. This callback function is optional.
**Warning: Close is a hacky solution & has smelly code. This is built on a workaround within VBScript to counter a flaw of VBScript. This function will not work on drives which must be manually close (eg. Laptop drives).**
Example usage:
```javascript
// Close all available disk drives.
// Note lack of callback (optional)
winEject.close();
```
```javascript
// Close disk of [drive].
winEject.close('E:', function() {
console.log('Disc Drive E: close!');
});
```
Currently, only Windows 7 has been tested and confirmed to work. On going testing is required.
