A few methods: loadURL Query String The query string method others have posted seems to work fine. It might even be the easiest. additionalArguments Electron’s documentation says additionalArguments is: Useful for passing small bits of data down to renderer process preload scripts. Main const win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600, backgroundColor: ‘#000000’ webPreferences: … Read more
You can catch it by using the close event of the browser-window api. You can try the following to verify this… var app = require(‘app’); var force_quit = false; app.on(‘ready’, function () { mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 }); mainWindow.on(‘close’, function() { // <—- Catch close event // The dialog box below … Read more
You can use an asynchronous IIFE inside the callback, like this: process.on(“uncaughtException”, (error: Error) => { (async () => { await this.errorHandler(error); // … })(); }); This ensures that the implicit return of the callback remains undefined, rather than being a promise.
Just use an option object when loading the URL. function createWindow () { win = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600}); win.loadURL(‘http://www.whoishostingthis.com/tools/user-agent/’, {userAgent: ‘Chrome’}); win.on(‘closed’, () => { win = null }); }
Since the remote method is being considered deprecated, as shown here, I’d suggest you do this: const {app} = require(‘electron’); console.log(app.getPath(‘userData’));
Managed to solve it by using extraResources. Should be declared under build in your package.json file. For example: Create a new folder named extraResources adjacent to pacakge.json Add the following code to your package.json file: “build”: { “extraResources”: [“./extraResources/**”] } Then, you can access the files inside this folder by using __dirname + ‘/../extraResources/’ from … Read more
We use a service (Angular) to process form data in a window. Then notify the remote, if needed. From your renderer you can send data to the ipc, then in your main.js you catch this event and the passed form data: // renderer.js let ipcRenderer = require(‘electron’).ipcRenderer; ipcRenderer.send(‘submitForm’, formData); // main.js ipcMain.on(‘submitForm’, function(event, data) { … Read more
Just comment or remove this line of code in main.js file (setting devTools to false) this.mainWindow.openDevTools(); (or) Add the following code to mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 1024, height: 768, webPreferences: { devTools: false } }); (or) change the package.json build to npm run build && build –win –x64 (or) again install npm
You have to set your execution policy to Unrestricted not RemoteSigned. According to Set-ExecutionPolicy: RemoteSigned. Requires that all scripts and configuration files downloaded from the Internet are signed by a trusted publisher. The default execution policy for Windows server computers. Since 99% of all PowerShell scripts are unsigned, 99% of the time you will not … Read more
You can open a file or folder through shell commands from the electron module. The commands work on both main and renderer process. const {shell} = require(‘electron’) // deconstructing assignment shell.showItemInFolder(‘filepath’) // Show the given file in a file manager. If possible, select the file. shell.openPath(‘folderpath’) // Open the given file in the desktop’s default … Read more
