Shamelessly simple MAC address getter for Node.js

I needed to obtain the MAC address in a few Electron-based systems in the company I currently work at, and getmac was not being very reliable once they were used in production. The blame for that is not on the NPM package, but on the Windows executable that it calls to get the address, so I made this (kinda overkill, I know) package, which comprises of just a few lines using Node's OS to get the available addresses.

Usage

const addresses = require('simple-mac');

console.log(addresses()) // Prints array with available MAC addresses
console.log(addresses(true)) // Does not filter internal/non-accessible interfaces
