System (Hardware)

In this section you will learn how to get basic system hardware data. We will cover the system, baseboard and bios:

For function reference and examples we assume, that we imported systeminformation as follows:

const si = require('systeminformation');

System

All functions in this section return a promise or can be called with a callback function (parameter cb in the function reference)

Function Result object Linux BSD Mac Win Sun Comments
si.system(cb) {...} X X X X hardware information
manufacturer X X X X e.g. 'MSI' or 'DELL'
model X X X X model/product e.g. 'MS-7823'
version X X X X version e.g. '1.0'
serial X X X X serial number
uuid X X X X UUID
sku X X X X SKU number
virtual X X X is virtual machine
virtualHost X X X virtual host (only if virtual = true)
raspberry X Additional Raspberry-specific information
manufacturer, processor, type, revision
Raspberry only
Example
const si = require('systeminformation');
si.system().then(data => console.log(data));
