<!-- DESCRIPTION/ -->

Get the MAC address of the current machine you are on.

<!-- /DESCRIPTION -->


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.
