// Your .ts file require @jxa/global-type
import "@jxa/global-type";

// your JXA application
const userName = Application("System Events").currentUser().name();

If you want to run JXA from Node.js, use @jxa/run.

import "@jxa/global-type";
import { run } from "@jxa/run";
export const currentUserName = () => {
    // This callback function is run as JXA
    return run(() => {
        const sys = Application("System Events");
        return sys.currentUser().name();
    });
};

// Main code is Node.js
export const example = async () => {
    const userName = await currentUserName();
    return User: ${userName};
};
