# `sandbox` Option
|
||||
|
||||
> Create a browser window with a sandboxed renderer. With this
|
||||
option enabled, the renderer must communicate via IPC to the main process in order to access node APIs.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the key security features of Chromium is that all blink rendering/JavaScript
|
||||
code is executed within a sandbox. This sandbox uses OS-specific features to ensure
|
||||
that exploits in the renderer process cannot harm the system.
|
||||
|
||||
In other words, when the sandbox is enabled, the renderers can only make changes
|
||||
to the system by delegating tasks to the main process via IPC.
|
||||
[Here's](https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/sandbox) more
|
||||
information about the sandbox.
|
||||
|
||||
Since a major feature in Electron is the ability to run Node.js in the
|
||||
renderer process (making it easier to develop desktop applications using web
|
||||
technologies), the sandbox is disabled by electron. This is because
|
||||
most Node.js APIs require system access. `require()` for example, is not
|
||||
possible without file system permissions, which are not available in a sandboxed
|
||||
environment.
|
||||
|
||||
Usually this is not a problem for desktop applications since the code is always
|
||||
trusted, but it makes Electron less secure than Chromium for displaying
|
||||
untrusted web content. For applications that require more security, the
|
||||
`sandbox` flag will force Electron to spawn a classic Chromium renderer that is
|
||||
compatible with the sandbox.
|
||||
|
||||
A sandboxed renderer doesn't have a Node.js environment running and doesn't
|
||||
expose Node.js JavaScript APIs to client code. The only exception is the preload script,
|
||||
which has access to a subset of the Electron renderer API.
|
||||
|
||||
Another difference is that sandboxed renderers don't modify any of the default
|
||||
JavaScript APIs. Consequently, some APIs such as `window.open` will work as they
|
||||
do in Chromium (i.e. they do not return a [`BrowserWindowProxy`](browser-window-proxy.md)).
|
||||
|
||||
## Example
|
||||
|
||||
To create a sandboxed window, pass `sandbox: true` to `webPreferences`:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
let win
|
||||
app.whenReady().then(() => {
|
||||
win = new BrowserWindow({
|
||||
webPreferences: {
|
||||
sandbox: true
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
win.loadURL('http://google.com')
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In the above code the [`BrowserWindow`](browser-window.md) that was created has Node.js disabled and can communicate
|
||||
only via IPC. The use of this option stops Electron from creating a Node.js runtime in the renderer. Also,
|
||||
within this new window `window.open` follows the native behavior (by default Electron creates a [`BrowserWindow`](browser-window.md)
|
||||
and returns a proxy to this via `window.open`).
|
||||
|
||||
[`app.enableSandbox`](app.md#appenablesandbox) can be used to force `sandbox: true` for all `BrowserWindow` instances.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
let win
|
||||
app.enableSandbox()
|
||||
app.whenReady().then(() => {
|
||||
// no need to pass `sandbox: true` since `app.enableSandbox()` was called.
|
||||
win = new BrowserWindow()
|
||||
win.loadURL('http://google.com')
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Preload
|
||||
|
||||
An app can make customizations to sandboxed renderers using a preload script.
|
||||
Here's an example:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
let win
|
||||
app.whenReady().then(() => {
|
||||
win = new BrowserWindow({
|
||||
webPreferences: {
|
||||
sandbox: true,
|
||||
preload: path.join(app.getAppPath(), 'preload.js')
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
win.loadURL('http://google.com')
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and preload.js:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// This file is loaded whenever a javascript context is created. It runs in a
|
||||
// private scope that can access a subset of Electron renderer APIs. Without
|
||||
// contextIsolation enabled, it's possible to accidentally leak privileged
|
||||
// globals like ipcRenderer to web content.
|
||||
const { ipcRenderer } = require('electron')
|
||||
|
||||
const defaultWindowOpen = window.open
|
||||
|
||||
window.open = function customWindowOpen (url, ...args) {
|
||||
ipcRenderer.send('report-window-open', location.origin, url, args)
|
||||
return defaultWindowOpen(url + '?from_electron=1', ...args)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Important things to notice in the preload script:
|
||||
|
||||
- Even though the sandboxed renderer doesn't have Node.js running, it still has
|
||||
access to a limited node-like environment: `Buffer`, `process`, `setImmediate`,
|
||||
`clearImmediate` and `require` are available.
|
||||
- The preload script must be contained in a single script, but it is possible to have
|
||||
complex preload code composed with multiple modules by using a tool like
|
||||
webpack or browserify. An example of using browserify is below.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a browserify bundle and use it as a preload script, something like
|
||||
the following should be used:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
browserify preload/index.js \
|
||||
-x electron \
|
||||
--insert-global-vars=__filename,__dirname -o preload.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `-x` flag should be used with any required module that is already exposed in
|
||||
the preload scope, and tells browserify to use the enclosing `require` function
|
||||
for it. `--insert-global-vars` will ensure that `process`, `Buffer` and
|
||||
`setImmediate` are also taken from the enclosing scope(normally browserify
|
||||
injects code for those).
|
||||
|
||||
Currently the `require` function provided in the preload scope exposes the
|
||||
following modules:
|
||||
|
||||
- `electron`
|
||||
- `crashReporter`
|
||||
- `desktopCapturer`
|
||||
- `ipcRenderer`
|
||||
- `nativeImage`
|
||||
- `webFrame`
|
||||
- `events`
|
||||
- `timers`
|
||||
- `url`
|
||||
|
||||
More may be added as needed to expose more Electron APIs in the sandbox.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rendering untrusted content
|
||||
|
||||
Rendering untrusted content in Electron is still somewhat uncharted territory,
|
||||
though some apps are finding success (e.g. Beaker Browser). Our goal is to get
|
||||
as close to Chrome as we can in terms of the security of sandboxed content, but
|
||||
ultimately we will always be behind due to a few fundamental issues:
|
||||
|
||||
1. We do not have the dedicated resources or expertise that Chromium has to
|
||||
apply to the security of its product. We do our best to make use of what we
|
||||
have, to inherit everything we can from Chromium, and to respond quickly to
|
||||
security issues, but Electron cannot be as secure as Chromium without the
|
||||
resources that Chromium is able to dedicate.
|
||||
2. Some security features in Chrome (such as Safe Browsing and Certificate
|
||||
Transparency) require a centralized authority and dedicated servers, both of
|
||||
which run counter to the goals of the Electron project. As such, we disable
|
||||
those features in Electron, at the cost of the associated security they
|
||||
would otherwise bring.
|
||||
3. There is only one Chromium, whereas there are many thousands of apps built
|
||||
on Electron, all of which behave slightly differently. Accounting for those
|
||||
differences can yield a huge possibility space, and make it challenging to
|
||||
ensure the security of the platform in unusual use cases.
|
||||
4. We can't push security updates to users directly, so we rely on app vendors
|
||||
to upgrade the version of Electron underlying their app in order for
|
||||
security updates to reach users.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are some things to consider before rendering untrusted content:
|
||||
|
||||
- A preload script can accidentally leak privileged APIs to untrusted code,
|
||||
unless [`contextIsolation`](../tutorial/security.md#3-enable-context-isolation-for-remote-content)
|
||||
is also enabled.
|
||||
- Some bug in the V8 engine may allow malicious code to access the renderer
|

## Example
|
||||
|
||||
We'll start with a working application from the
|
||||
[Quick Start Guide](quick-start.md) and add functionality gradually.
|
||||
This example demonstrates an Electron application that derives its theme colors from the
|
||||
`nativeTheme`. Additionally, it provides theme toggle and reset controls using IPC channels.
|
||||
|
||||
First, let's edit our interface so users can toggle between light and dark
|
||||
modes. This basic UI contains buttons to change the `nativeTheme.themeSource`
|
||||
setting and a text element indicating which `themeSource` value is selected.
|
||||
By default, Electron follows the system's dark mode preference, so we
|
||||
will hardcode the theme source as "System".
|
||||
```javascript fiddle='docs/fiddles/features/macos-dark-mode'

|
||||
|
||||
Next, add [event listeners](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener)
|
||||
that listen for `click` events on the toggle buttons. Because the `nativeTheme`
|
||||
module only exposed in the Main process, you need to set up each listener's
|
||||
callback to use IPC to send messages to and handle responses from the Main
|
||||
process:
|
||||
And the `style.css` file:
|
||||
|
||||
* when the "Toggle Dark Mode" button is clicked, we send the
|
||||
`dark-mode:toggle` message (event) to tell the Main process to trigger a theme
|
||||
change, and update the "Current Theme Source" label in the UI based on the
|
||||
response from the Main process.
|
||||
* when the "Reset to System Theme" button is clicked, we send the
|
||||
`dark-mode:system` message (event) to tell the Main process to use the system
|
||||
color scheme, and update the "Current Theme Source" label to `System`.
|
||||
```css title='style.css'
|
||||
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
|
||||
body { background: #333; color: white; }
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
To add listeners and handlers, add the following lines to the `renderer.js` file:
|
||||
@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {
|
||||
body { background: #ddd; color: black; }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const { ipcRenderer } = require('electron')
|
||||
The example renders an HTML page with a couple elements. The `<strong id="theme-source">`
|
||||
element shows which theme is currently selected, and the two `<button>` elements are the
|
||||
controls. The CSS file uses the [`prefers-color-scheme`][prefers-color-scheme] media query
|
||||
to set the `<body>` element background and text colors.
|
||||
|
||||
The `preload.js` script adds a new API to the `window` object called `darkMode`. This API
|
||||
exposes two IPC channels to the renderer process, `'dark-mode:toggle'` and `'dark-mode:system'`.
|
||||
It also assigns two methods, `toggle` and `system`, which pass messages from the renderer to the
|
||||
main process.
|
||||
|
||||
```js title='preload.js'
|
||||
const { contextBridge, ipcRenderer } = require('electron')
|
||||
|
||||
contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('darkMode', {
|
||||
toggle: () => ipcRenderer.invoke('dark-mode:toggle'),
|
||||
system: () => ipcRenderer.invoke('dark-mode:system')
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now the renderer process can communicate with the main process securely and perform the necessary
|
||||
mutations to the `nativeTheme` object.
|
||||
|
||||
The `renderer.js` file is responsible for controlling the `<button>` functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
```js title='renderer.js'
|
||||
document.getElementById('toggle-dark-mode').addEventListener('click', async () => {
|
||||
const isDarkMode = await ipcRenderer.invoke('dark-mode:toggle')
|
||||
const isDarkMode = await window.darkMode.toggle()
|
||||
document.getElementById('theme-source').innerHTML = isDarkMode ? 'Dark' : 'Light'
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
document.getElementById('reset-to-system').addEventListener('click', async () => {
|
||||
await ipcRenderer.invoke('dark-mode:system')
|
||||
await window.darkMode.system()
|
||||
document.getElementById('theme-source').innerHTML = 'System'
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you run your code at this point, you'll see that your buttons don't do
|
||||
anything just yet, and your Main process will output an error like this when
|
||||
you click on your buttons:
|
||||
`Error occurred in handler for 'dark-mode:toggle': No handler registered for 'dark-mode:toggle'`
|
||||
This is expected — we haven't actually touched any `nativeTheme` code yet.
|
||||
Using `addEventListener`, the `renderer.js` file adds `'click'` [event listeners][event-listeners]
|
||||
to each button element. Each event listener handler makes calls to the respective `window.darkMode`
|
||||
API methods.
|
||||
|
||||
Now that we're done wiring the IPC from the Renderer's side, the next step
|
||||
is to update the `main.js` file to handle events from the Renderer process.
|
||||
Finally, the `main.js` file represents the main process and contains the actual `nativeTheme` API.
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on the received event, we update the
|
||||
[`nativeTheme.themeSource`](../api/native-theme.md#nativethemethemesource)
|
||||
property to apply the desired theme on the system's native UI elements
|
||||
(e.g. context menus) and propagate the preferred color scheme to the Renderer
|
||||
process:
|
||||
|
||||
* Upon receiving `dark-mode:toggle`, we check if the dark theme is currently
|
||||
active using the `nativeTheme.shouldUseDarkColors` property, and set the
|
||||
`themeSource` to the opposite theme.
|
||||
* Upon receiving `dark-mode:system`, we reset the `themeSource` to `system`.

|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The final step is to add a bit of styling to enable dark mode for the web parts
|
||||
of the UI by leveraging the [`prefers-color-scheme`][prefer-color-scheme] CSS
|
||||
attribute. The value of `prefers-color-scheme` will follow your
|
||||
`nativeTheme.themeSource` setting.
|
||||
The `ipcMain.handle` methods are how the main process responds to the click events from the buttons
|
||||
on the HTML page.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `styles.css` file and add the following lines:
|
||||
The `'dark-mode:toggle'` IPC channel handler method checks the `shouldUseDarkColors` boolean property,
|
||||
sets the corresponding `themeSource`, and then returns the current `shouldUseDarkColors` property.
|
||||
Looking back on the renderer process event listener for this IPC channel, the return value from this
|
||||
handler is utilized to assign the correct text to the `<strong id='theme-source'>` element.
|
||||
|
||||
```css fiddle='docs/fiddles/features/macos-dark-mode'
|
||||
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
|
||||
body { background: #333; color: white; }
|
||||
}
|
||||
The `'dark-mode:system'` IPC channel handler method assigns the string `'system'` to the `themeSource`
|
||||
and returns nothing. This also corresponds with the relative renderer process event listener as the
|
||||
method is awaited with no return value expected.
|
||||
|
||||
@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {
|
||||
body { background: #ddd; color: black; }

}

```
|
||||
|
||||
After launching the Electron application, you can change modes or reset the
|
||||
theme to system default by clicking corresponding buttons:

Run the example using Electron Fiddle and then click the "Toggle Dark Mode" button; the app should

|
||||
an Electron app, read through this Getting Started section to get familiar with the
|
||||
basics. Otherwise, feel free to explore our guides and API documentation!
|
||||
|
||||
## What is Electron?
|
||||
|
||||
Electron is a framework for building desktop applications using JavaScript,
|
||||
HTML, and CSS. By embedding [Chromium][chromium] and [Node.js][node] into its
|
||||
binary, Electron allows you to maintain one JavaScript codebase and create
|
||||
cross-platform apps that work on Windows, macOS, and Linux — no native development
|
||||
experience required.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
These docs operate under the assumption that the reader is familiar with both
|
||||
Node.js and general web development. If you need to get more comfortable with
|
||||
either of these areas, we recommend the following resources:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Getting started with the Web (MDN)][mdn-guide]
|
||||
* [Introduction to Node.js][node-guide]
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, you'll have a better time understanding how Electron works if you get
|
||||
acquainted with Chromium's process model. You can get a brief overview of
|
||||
Chrome architecture with the [Chrome comic][comic], which was released alongside
|
||||
Chrome's launch back in 2008. Although it's been over a decade since then, the
|
||||
core principles introduced in the comic remain helpful to understand Electron.
|
||||
|
||||
## Running examples with Electron Fiddle
|
||||
|
||||
[Electron Fiddle][fiddle] is a sandbox app written with Electron and supported by
|
||||
Electron's maintainers. We highly recommend installing it as a learning tool to
|
||||
experiment with Electron's APIs or to prototype features during development.
|
||||
|
||||
Fiddle also integrates nicely with our documentation. When browsing through examples
|
||||
in our tutorials, you'll frequently see an "Open in Electron Fiddle" button underneath
|
||||
a code block. If you have Fiddle installed, this button will open a
|
||||
`fiddle.electronjs.org` link that will automatically load the example into Fiddle,
|
||||
no copy-pasting required.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting help
|
||||
|
||||
Are you getting stuck anywhere? Here are a few links to places to look:
|
||||
|
||||
* If you need help with developing your app, our [community Discord server][discord]
|
||||
is a great place to get advice from other Electron app developers.
|
||||
* If you suspect you're running into a bug with the `electron` package, please check
|
||||
the [GitHub issue tracker][issue-tracker] to see if any existing issues match your
|
||||
problem. If not, feel free to fill out our bug report template and submit a new issue.

# Mac App Store Submission Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Since v0.34.0, Electron allows submitting packaged apps to the Mac App Store
|
||||
(MAS). This guide provides information on: how to submit your app and the
|
||||
limitations of the MAS build.
|
||||
This guide provides information on:
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Submitting an app to Mac App Store requires enrolling in the [Apple Developer
|
||||
Program][developer-program], which costs money.
|
||||
* How to sign Electron apps on macOS;
|
||||
* How to submit Electron apps to Mac App Store (MAS);
|
||||
* The limitations of the MAS build.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Submit Your App
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
The following steps introduce a simple way to submit your app to Mac App Store.
|
||||
However, these steps do not ensure your app will be approved by Apple; you
|
||||
still need to read Apple's [Submitting Your App][submitting-your-app] guide on
|
||||
how to meet the Mac App Store requirements.
|
||||
To sign Electron apps, the following tools must be installed first:
|
||||
|
||||
### Get Certificate
|
||||
* Xcode 11 or above.
|
||||
* The [electron-osx-sign][electron-osx-sign] npm module.
|
||||
|
||||
To submit your app to the Mac App Store, you first must get a certificate from
|
||||
Apple. You can follow these [existing guides][nwjs-guide] on web.
|
||||
You also have to register an Apple Developer account and join the
|
||||
[Apple Developer Program][developer-program].
|
||||
|
||||
### Get Team ID
|
||||
## Sign Electron apps
|
||||
|
||||
Before signing your app, you need to know the Team ID of your account. To locate
|
||||
your Team ID, Sign in to [Apple Developer Center](https://developer.apple.com/account/),
|
||||
and click Membership in the sidebar. Your Team ID appears in the Membership
|
||||
Information section under the team name.
|
||||
Electron apps can be distributed through Mac App Store or outside it. Each way
|
||||
requires different ways of signing and testing. This guide focuses on
|
||||
distribution via Mac App Store, but will also mention other methods.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sign Your App
|
||||
The following steps describe how to get the certificates from Apple, how to sign
|
||||
Electron apps, and how to test them.
|
||||
|
||||
After finishing the preparation work, you can package your app by following
|
||||
[Application Distribution](application-distribution.md), and then proceed to
|
||||
signing your app.
|
||||
### Get certificates
|
||||
|
||||
First, you have to add a `ElectronTeamID` key to your app's `Info.plist`, which
|
||||
has your Team ID as its value:
|
||||
The simplest way to get signing certificates is to use Xcode:
|
||||
|
||||
```xml
|
||||
<plist version="1.0">
|
||||
<dict>
|
||||
...
|
||||
<key>ElectronTeamID</key>
|
||||
<string>TEAM_ID</string>
|
||||
</dict>
|
||||
</plist>
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Open Xcode and open "Accounts" preferences;
|
||||
2. Sign in with your Apple account;
|
||||
3. Select a team and click "Manage Certificates";
|
||||
4. In the lower-left corner of the signing certificates sheet, click the Add
|
||||
button (+), and add following certificates:
|
||||
* "Apple Development"
|
||||
* "Apple Distribution"
|
||||
|
||||
Then, you need to prepare three entitlements files.
|
||||
The "Apple Development" certificate is used to sign apps for development and
|
||||
testing, on machines that have been registered on Apple Developer website. The
|
||||
method of registration will be described in
|
||||
[Prepare provisioning profile](#prepare-provisioning-profile).
|
||||
|
||||
`child.plist`:
|
||||
Apps signed with the "Apple Development" certificate cannot be submitted to Mac
|
||||
App Store. For that purpose, apps must be signed with the "Apple Distribution"
|
||||
certificate instead. But note that apps signed with the "Apple Distribution"
|
||||
certificate cannot run directly, they must be re-signed by Apple to be able to
|
||||
run, which will only be possible after being downloaded from the Mac App Store.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Other certificates
|
||||
|
||||
You may notice that there are also other kinds of certificates.
|
||||
|
||||
The "Developer ID Application" certificate is used to sign apps before
|
||||
distributing them outside the Mac App Store.
|
||||
|
||||
The "Developer ID Installer" and "Mac Installer Distribution" certificates are
|
||||
used to sign the Mac Installer Package instead of the app itself. Most Electron
|
||||
apps do not use Mac Installer Package so they are generally not needed.
|
||||
|
||||
The full list of certificate types can be found
|
||||
[here](https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/dev80c6204ec).
|
||||
|
||||
Apps signed with "Apple Development" and "Apple Distribution" certificates can
|
||||
only run under [App Sandbox][app-sandboxing], so they must use the MAS build of
|
||||
Electron. However, the "Developer ID Application" certificate does not have this
|
||||
restrictions, so apps signed with it can use either the normal build or the MAS
|
||||
build of Electron.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Legacy certificate names
|
||||
|
||||
Apple has been changing the names of certificates during past years, you might
|
||||
encounter them when reading old documentations, and some utilities are still
|
||||
using one of the old names.
|
||||
|
||||
* The "Apple Distribution" certificate was also named as "3rd Party Mac
|
||||
Developer Application" and "Mac App Distribution".
|
||||
* The "Apple Development" certificate was also named as "Mac Developer" and
|
||||
"Development".
|
||||
|
||||
### Prepare provisioning profile
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to test your app on your local machine before submitting your app to
|
||||
the Mac App Store, you have to sign the app with the "Apple Development"
|
||||
certificate with the provisioning profile embedded in the app bundle.
|
||||
|
||||
To [create a provisioning profile](https://help.apple.com/developer-account/#/devf2eb157f8),
|
||||
you can follow the below steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" page on the
|
||||
[Apple Developer](https://developer.apple.com/account) website.
|
||||
2. Add a new App ID for your app in the "Identifiers" page.
|
||||
3. Register your local machine in the "Devices" page. You can find your
|
||||
machine's "Device ID" in the "Hardware" page of the "System Information" app.
|
||||
4. Register a new Provisioning Profile in the "Profiles" page, and download it
|
||||
to `/path/to/yourapp.provisionprofile`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enable Apple's App Sandbox
|
||||
|
||||
Apps submitted to the Mac App Store must run under Apple's
|
||||
[App Sandbox][app-sandboxing], and only the MAS build of Electron can run with
|
||||
the App Sandbox. The standard darwin build of Electron will fail to launch
|
||||
when run under App Sandbox.
|
||||
|
||||
When signing the app with `electron-osx-sign`, it will automatically add the
|
||||
necessary entitlements to your app's entitlements, but if you are using custom
|
||||
entitlements, you must ensure App Sandbox capacity is added:

If you are new to app sandboxing under macOS, you should also read through
|
||||
Apple's [Enabling App Sandbox][enable-app-sandbox] to have a basic idea, then
|
||||
add keys for the permissions needed by your app to the entitlements files.
|
||||
When using `electron-osx-sign` the `ElectronTeamID` key will be added
|
||||
automatically by extracting the Team ID from the certificate's name. You may
|
||||
need to manually add this key if `electron-osx-sign` could not find the correct
|
||||
Team ID.
|
||||
|
||||
Apart from manually signing your app, you can also choose to use the
|
||||
[electron-osx-sign][electron-osx-sign] module to do the job.
|
||||
### Sign apps for development
|
||||
|
||||
#### Sign Native Modules
|
||||
To sign an app that can run on your development machine, you must sign it with
|
||||
the "Apple Development" certificate and pass the provisioning profile to
|
||||
`electron-osx-sign`.
|
||||
|
||||
Native modules used in your app also need to be signed. If using
|
||||
electron-osx-sign, be sure to include the path to the built binaries in the
|
||||
argument list:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
electron-osx-sign YourApp.app YourApp.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/nativemodule/build/release/nativemodule
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
electron-osx-sign YourApp.app --identity='Apple Development' --provisioning-profile=/path/to/yourapp.provisionprofile
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Also note that native modules may have intermediate files produced which should
|
||||
not be included (as they would also need to be signed). If you use
|
||||
[electron-packager][electron-packager] before version 8.1.0, add
|
||||
`--ignore=.+\.o$` to your build step to ignore these files. Versions 8.1.0 and
|
||||
later ignore those files by default.
|
||||
If you are signing without `electron-osx-sign`, you must place the provisioning
|
||||
profile to `YourApp.app/Contents/embedded.provisionprofile`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Upload Your App
|
||||
The signed app can only run on the machines that registered by the provisioning
|
||||
profile, and this is the only way to test the signed app before submitting to
|
||||
Mac App Store.
|
||||
|
||||
After signing your app, you can use Application Loader to upload it to iTunes
|
||||
### Sign apps for submitting to the Mac App Store
|
||||
|
||||
To sign an app that will be submitted to Mac App Store, you must sign it with
|
||||
the "Apple Distribution" certificate. Note that apps signed with this
|
||||
certificate will not run anywhere, unless it is downloaded from Mac App Store.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
electron-osx-sign YourApp.app --identity='Apple Distribution'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Sign apps for distribution outside the Mac App Store
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't plan to submit the app to Mac App Store, you can sign it the
|
||||
"Developer ID Application" certificate. In this way there is no requirement on
|
||||
App Sandbox, and you should use the normal darwin build of Electron if you don't
|
||||
use App Sandbox.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
electron-osx-sign YourApp.app --identity='Developer ID Application' --no-gatekeeper-assess
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By passing `--no-gatekeeper-assess`, the `electron-osx-sign` will skip the macOS
|
||||
GateKeeper check as your app usually has not been notarized yet by this step.
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- TODO(zcbenz): Add a chapter about App Notarization -->
|
||||
This guide does not cover [App Notarization][app-notarization], but you might
|
||||
want to do it otherwise Apple may prevent users from using your app outside Mac
|
||||
App Store.
|
||||
|
||||
## Submit Apps to the Mac App Store
|
||||
|
||||
After signing the app with the "Apple Distribution" certificate, you can
|
||||
continue to submit it to Mac App Store.
|
||||
|
||||
However, this guide do not ensure your app will be approved by Apple; you
|
||||
still need to read Apple's [Submitting Your App][submitting-your-app] guide on
|
||||
how to meet the Mac App Store requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
### Upload
|
||||
|
||||
The Application Loader should be used to upload the signed app to iTunes
|
||||
Connect for processing, making sure you have [created a record][create-record]
|
||||
before uploading.
|
||||
|
||||
### Submit Your App for Review
|
||||
If you are seeing errors like private APIs uses, you should check if the app is
|
||||
using the MAS build of Electron.
|
||||
|
||||
After these steps, you can [submit your app for review][submit-for-review].

In `preload.js` use the [`contextBridge`] to inject a method `window.electron.startDrag(...)` that will send an IPC message to the main process.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const { contextBridge, ipcRenderer } = require('electron')

and add the following lines to the `renderer.js` file:

In `renderer.js` set up the renderer process to handle drag events by calling the method you added via the [`contextBridge`] above.

# Process Model
|
||||
|
||||
Electron inherits its multi-process architecture from Chromium, which makes the framework
|
||||
architecturally very similar to a modern web browser. In this guide, we'll expound on
|
||||
the conceptual knowledge of Electron that we applied in the minimal [quick start app][].
|
||||
|
||||
[quick start app]: ./quick-start.md
|
||||
|
||||
## Why not a single process?
|
||||
|
||||
Web browsers are incredibly complicated applications. Aside from their primary ability
|
||||
to display web content, they have many secondary responsibilities,
|
||||
such as managing multiple windows (or tabs) and loading third-party extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
In the earlier days, browsers usually used a single process for all of this
|
||||
functionality. Although this pattern meant less overhead for each tab you had open,
|
||||
it also meant that one website crashing or hanging would affect the entire browser.
|
||||
|
||||
## The multi-process model
|
||||
|
||||
To solve this problem, the Chrome team decided that each tab would render in its own
|
||||
process, limiting the harm that buggy or malicious code on a web page could cause to
|
||||
the app as a whole. A single browser process then controls these processes, as well
|
||||
as the application lifecycle as a whole. This diagram below from the [Chrome Comic]
|
||||
visualizes this model:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Electron applications are structured very similarly. As an app developer, you control
|
||||
two types of processes: main and renderer. These are analogous to Chrome's own browser
|
||||
and renderer processes outlined above.
|
||||
|
||||
[Chrome Comic]: https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/
|
||||
|
||||
## The main process
|
||||
|
||||
Each Electron app has a single main process, which acts as the application's entry
|
||||
point. The main process runs in a Node.js environment, meaning it has the ability
|
||||
to `require` modules and use all of Node.js APIs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Window management
|
||||
|
||||
The main process' primary purpose is to create and manage application windows with the
|
||||
[`BrowserWindow`][browser-window] module.
|
||||
|
||||
Each instance of the `BrowserWindow` class creates an application window that loads
|
||||
a web page in a separate renderer process. You can interact with this web content
|
||||
from the main process using the window's [`webContents`][web-contents] object.
|
||||
|
||||
```js title='main.js'
|
||||
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
|
||||
|
||||
const win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 1500 })
|
||||
win.loadURL('https://github.com')
|
||||
|
||||
const contents = win.webContents
|
||||
console.log(contents)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: A renderer process is also created for [web embeds][web-embed] such as the
|
||||
> `BrowserView` module. The `webContents` object is also accessible for embedded
|
||||
> web content.
|
||||
|
||||
Because the `BrowserWindow` module is an [`EventEmitter`][event-emitter], you can also
|
||||
add handlers for various user events (for example, minimizing or maximizing your window).
|
||||
|
||||
When a `BrowserWindow` instance is destroyed, its corresponding renderer process gets
|
||||
terminated as well.
|
||||
|
||||
[browser-window]: ../api/browser-window.md
|
||||
[web-embed]: ./web-embeds.md
|
||||
[web-contents]: ../api/web-contents.md
|
||||
[event-emitter]: https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter
|
||||
|
||||
### Application lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
The main process also controls your application's lifecycle through Electron's
|
||||
[`app`][app] module. This module provides a large set of events and methods
|
||||
that you can use to add custom application behaviour (for instance, programatically
|
||||
quitting your application, modifying the application dock, or showing an About panel).
|
||||
|
||||
As a practical example, the app shown in the [quick start guide][quick-start-lifecycle]
|
||||
uses `app` APIs to create a more native application window experience.
|
||||
|
||||
```js title='main.js'
|
||||
// quitting the app when no windows are open on macOS
|
||||
app.on('window-all-closed', function () {
|
||||
if (process.platform !== 'darwin') app.quit()
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
[app]: ../api/app.md
|
||||
[quick-start-lifecycle]: ./quick-start.md#manage-your-windows-lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
### Native APIs
|
||||
|
||||
To extend Electron's features beyond being a Chromium wrapper for web contents, the
|
||||
main process also adds custom APIs to interact with the user's operating system.
|
||||
Electron exposes various modules that control native desktop functionality, such
|
||||
as menus, dialogs, and tray icons.
|
||||
|
||||
For a full list of Electron's main process modules, check out our API documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
## The renderer process
|
||||
|
||||
Each Electron app spawns a separate renderer process for each open `BrowserWindow`
|
||||
(and each web embed). As its name implies, a renderer is responsible for
|
||||
*rendering* web content. For all intents and purposes, code ran in renderer processes
|
||||
should behave according to web standards (insofar as Chromium does, at least).
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore, all user interfaces and app functionality within a single browser
|
||||
window should be written with the same tools and paradigms that you use on the
|
||||
web.
|
||||
|
||||
Although explaining every web spec is out of scope for this guide, the bare minimum
|
||||
to understand is:
|
||||
|
||||
* An HTML file is your entry point for the renderer process.
|
||||
* UI styling is added through Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
|
||||
* Executable JavaScript code can be added through `<script>` elements.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, this also means that the renderer has no direct access to `require`
|
||||
or other Node.js APIs. In order to directly include NPM modules in the renderer,
|
||||
you must use the same bundler toolchains (for example, `webpack` or `parcel`) that you
|
||||
use on the web.
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: Renderer processes can be spawned with a full Node.js environment for ease of
|
||||
> development. Historically, this used to be the default, but this feature was disabled
|
||||
> for security reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
At this point, you might be wondering how your renderer process user interfaces
|
||||
can interact with Node.js and Electron's native desktop functionality if these
|
||||
features are only accessible from the main process. In fact, there is no direct
|
||||
way to import Electron's content scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
## Preload scripts
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Note: This guide doesn't take sandboxing into account, which might fundamentally
|
||||
change the statements here. -->
|
||||
Preload scripts contain code that executes in a renderer process before its web content
|
||||
begins loading. These scripts runs within the renderer context, but are granted more
|
||||
privileges by having access to Node.js APIs.
|
||||
|
||||
A preload script can be attached to the main process in the `BrowserWindow` constructor's
|
||||
`webPreferences` option.
|
||||
|
||||
```js title='main.js'
|
||||
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
|
||||
//...
|
||||
const win = new BrowserWindow({
|
||||
preload: 'path/to/preload.js'
|
||||
})
|
||||
//...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Because the preload script shares a global [`Window`][window-mdn] interface with the
|
||||
renderers and can access Node.js APIs, it serves to enhance your renderer by exposing
|
||||
arbitrary APIs in the `window` global that your web contents can then consume.
|
||||
|
||||
Although preload scripts share a `window` global with the renderer they're attached to,
|
||||
you cannot directly attach any variables from the preload script to `window` because of
|
||||
the [`contextIsolation`][context-isolation] default.
|
||||
|
||||
```js title='preload.js'
|
||||
window.myAPI = {
|
||||
desktop: true
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js title='renderer.js'
|
||||
console.log(window.myAPI)
|
||||
// => undefined
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Context Isolation means that preload scripts are isolated from the renderer's main world
|
||||
to avoid leaking any privileged APIs into your web content's code.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead, use the [`contextBridge`][context-bridge] module to accomplish this
|
||||
securely:
|
||||
|
||||
```js title='preload.js'
|
||||
const { contextBridge } = require('electron')
|
||||
|
||||
contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('myAPI', {
|
||||
desktop: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js title='renderer.js'
|
||||
console.log(window.myAPI)
|
||||
// => { desktop: true }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This feature is incredibly useful for two main purposes:
|
||||
|
||||
* By exposing [`ipcRenderer`][ipcRenderer] helpers to the renderer, you can use
|
||||
inter-process communication (IPC) to trigger main process tasks from the
|
||||
renderer (and vice-versa).
|
||||
* If you're developing an Electron wrapper for an existing web app hosted on a remote
|
||||
URL, you can add custom properties onto the renderer's `window` global that can
|
||||
be used for desktop-only logic on the web client's side.

## Quickstart
|
||||
This guide will step you through the process of creating a barebones Hello World app in
|
||||
Electron, similar to [`electron/electron-quick-start`][quick-start].
|
||||
|
||||
Electron is a framework that enables you to create desktop applications with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. These applications can then be packaged to run directly on macOS, Windows, or Linux, or distributed via the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store.
|
||||
By the end of this tutorial, your app will open a browser window that displays a web page
|
||||
with information about which Chromium, Node.js, and Electron versions are running.
|
||||
|
||||
Typically, you create a desktop application for an operating system (OS) using each operating system's specific native application frameworks. Electron makes it possible to write your application once using technologies that you already know.

||||

|
||||
If both commands succeeded, you are ready to install Electron.
|
||||
|
||||
### Create a basic application
|
||||
**Note:** Since Electron embeds Node.js into its binary, the version of Node.js running
|
||||
your code is unrelated to the version running on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
From a development perspective, an Electron application is essentially a Node.js application. This means that the starting point of your Electron application will be a `package.json` file like in any other Node.js application. A minimal Electron application has the following structure:
|
||||
[node-download]: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
|
||||
|
||||
```plaintext
|
||||
my-electron-app/
|
||||
├── package.json
|
||||
├── main.js
|
||||
├── preload.js
|
||||
└── index.html
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Create your application
|
||||
|
||||
Let's create a basic application based on the structure above.
|
||||
### Scaffold the project
|
||||
|
||||
#### Install Electron
|
||||
Electron apps follow the same general structure as other Node.js projects.
|
||||
Start by creating a folder and initializing an npm package.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a folder for your project and install Electron there:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
```sh npm2yarn
|
||||
mkdir my-electron-app && cd my-electron-app
|
||||
npm init -y
|
||||
npm i --save-dev electron
|
||||
npm init
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Create the main script file
|
||||
The interactive `init` command will prompt you to set some fields in your config.
|
||||
There are a few rules to follow for the purposes of this tutorial:
|
||||
|
||||
The main script specifies the entry point of your Electron application (in our case, the `main.js` file) that will run the Main process. Typically, the script that runs in the Main process controls the lifecycle of the application, displays the graphical user interface and its elements, performs native operating system interactions, and creates Renderer processes within web pages. An Electron application can have only one Main process.
|
||||
* `entry point` should be `main.js`.
|
||||
* `author` and `description` can be any value, but are necessary for
|
||||
[app packaging](#package-and-distribute-your-application).
|
||||
|
||||
The main script may look as follows:
|
||||
Your `package.json` file should look something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript fiddle='docs/fiddles/quick-start'
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "my-electron-app",
|
||||
"version": "1.0.0",
|
||||
"description": "Hello World!",
|
||||
"main": "main.js",
|
||||
"author": "Jane Doe",
|
||||
"license": "MIT"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, install the `electron` package into your app's `devDependencies`.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh npm2yarn
|
||||
$ npm install --save-dev electron
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: If you're encountering any issues with installing Electron, please
|
||||
> refer to the [Advanced Installation][advanced-installation] guide.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, you want to be able to execute Electron. In the [`scripts`][package-scripts]
|
||||
field of your `package.json` config, add a `start` command like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"scripts": {
|
||||
"start": "electron ."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This `start` command will let you open your app in development mode.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh npm2yarn
|
||||
npm start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: This script tells Electron to run on your project's root folder. At this stage,
|
||||
> your app will immediately throw an error telling you that it cannot find an app to run.
|
||||
|
||||
[advanced-installation]: ./installation.md
|
||||
[package-scripts]: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/using-npm/scripts
|
||||
|
||||
### Run the main process
|
||||
|
||||
The entry point of any Electron application is its `main` script. This script controls the
|
||||
**main process**, which runs in a full Node.js environment and is responsible for
|
||||
controlling your app's lifecycle, displaying native interfaces, performing privileged
|
||||
operations, and managing renderer processes (more on that later).
|
||||
|
||||
During execution, Electron will look for this script in the [`main`][package-json-main]
|
||||
field of the app's `package.json` config, which you should have configured during the
|
||||
[app scaffolding](#scaffold-the-project) step.
|
||||
|
||||
To initialize the `main` script, create an empty file named `main.js` in the root folder
|
||||
of your project.
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: If you run the `start` script again at this point, your app will no longer throw
|
||||
> any errors! However, it won't do anything yet because we haven't added any code into
|
||||
> `main.js`.
|
||||
|
||||
[package-json-main]: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/configuring-npm/package-json#main
|
||||
|
||||
### Create a web page
|
||||
|
||||
Before we can create a window for our application, we need to create the content that
|
||||
will be loaded into it. In Electron, each window displays web contents that can be loaded
|
||||
from either from a local HTML file or a remote URL.
|
||||
|
||||
For this tutorial, you will be doing the former. Create an `index.html` file in the root
|
||||
folder of your project:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||||
<html>
|
||||
<head>
|
||||
<meta charset="UTF-8">
|
||||
<!-- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP -->
|
||||
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'">
|
||||
<meta http-equiv="X-Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'">
|
||||
<title>Hello World!</title>
|
||||
</head>
|
||||
<body>
|
||||
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
|
||||
We are using Node.js <span id="node-version"></span>,
|
||||
Chromium <span id="chrome-version"></span>,
|
||||
and Electron <span id="electron-version"></span>.
|
||||
</body>
|
||||
</html>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: Looking at this HTML document, you can observe that the version numbers are
|
||||
> missing from the body text. We'll manually insert them later using JavaScript.
|
||||
|
||||
### Opening your web page in a browser window
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you have a web page, load it into an application window. To do so, you'll
|
||||
need two Electron modules:
|
||||
|
||||
* The [`app`][app] module, which controls your application's event lifecycle.
|
||||
* The [`BrowserWindow`][browser-window] module, which creates and manages application
|
||||
windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Because the main process runs Node.js, you can import these as [CommonJS][commonjs]
|
||||
modules at the top of your file:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, add a `createWindow()` function that loads `index.html` into a new `BrowserWindow`
|
||||
instance.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
function createWindow () {
|
||||
const win = new BrowserWindow({
|
||||
width: 800,
|
||||
height: 600
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
win.loadFile('index.html')
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Next, call this `createWindow()` function to open your window.
|
||||
|
||||
In Electron, browser windows can only be created after the `app` module's
|
||||
[`ready`][app-ready] event is fired. You can wait for this event by using the
|
||||
[`app.whenReady()`][app-when-ready] API. Call `createWindow()` after `whenReady()`
|
||||
resolves its Promise.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
app.whenReady().then(() => {
|
||||
createWindow()
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: At this point, your Electron application should successfully
|
||||
> open a window that displays your web page!

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
[app-when-ready]: ../api/app.md#appwhenready
|
||||
|
||||
### Manage your window's lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
Although you can now open a browser window, you'll need some additional boilerplate code
|
||||
to make it feel more native to each platform. Application windows behave differently on
|
||||
each OS, and Electron puts the responsibility on developers to implement these
|
||||
conventions in their app.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, you can use the `process` global's [`platform`][node-platform] attribute
|
||||
to run code specifically for certain operating systems.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Quit the app when all windows are closed (Windows & Linux)
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows and Linux, exiting all windows generally quits an application entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
To implement this, listen for the `app` module's [`'window-all-closed'`][window-all-closed]
|
||||
event, and call [`app.quit()`][app-quit] if the user is not on macOS (`darwin`).
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
app.on('window-all-closed', function () {
|
||||
if (process.platform !== 'darwin') app.quit()
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
[node-platform]: https://nodejs.org/api/process.html#process_process_platform
|
||||
[window-all-closed]: ../api/app.md#event-window-all-closed
|
||||
[window-all-closed]: ../api/app.md#appquit
|
||||
|
||||
#### Open a window if none are open (macOS)
|
||||
|
||||
Whereas Linux and Windows apps quit when they have no windows open, macOS apps generally
|
||||
continue running even without any windows open, and activating the app when no windows
|
||||
are available should open a new one.
|
||||
|
||||
To implement this feature, listen for the `app` module's [`activate`][activate]
|
||||
event, and call your existing `createWindow()` method if no browser windows are open.
|
||||
|
||||
Because windows cannot be created before the `ready` event, you should only listen for
|
||||
`activate` events after your app is initialized. Do this by attaching your event listener
|
||||
from within your existing `whenReady()` callback.
|
||||
|
||||
[activate]: ../api/app.md#event-activate-macos
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
app.whenReady().then(() => {
|
||||
createWindow()
|
||||
|
||||
app.on('activate', function () {
|
||||
if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) createWindow()
|
||||
})
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: At this point, your window controls should be fully functional!
|
||||
|
||||
### Access Node.js from the renderer with a preload script
|
||||
|
||||
Now, the last thing to do is print out the version numbers for Electron and its
|
||||
dependencies onto your web page.
|
||||
|
||||
Accessing this information is trivial to do in the main process through Node's
|
||||
global `process` object. However, you can't just edit the DOM from the main
|
||||
process because it has no access to the renderer's `document` context.
|
||||
They're in entirely different processes!
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: If you need a more in-depth look at Electron processes, see the
|
||||
> [Process Model][] document.
|
||||
|
||||
This is where attaching a **preload** script to your renderer comes in handy.
|
||||
A preload script runs before the renderer process is loaded, and has access to both
|
||||
renderer globals (e.g. `window` and `document`) and a Node.js environment.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new script named `preload.js` as such:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
|
||||
const replaceText = (selector, text) => {
|
||||
const element = document.getElementById(selector)
|
||||
if (element) element.innerText = text
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
for (const dependency of ['chrome', 'node', 'electron']) {
|
||||
replaceText(`${dependency}-version`, process.versions[dependency])
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above code accesses the Node.js `process.versions` object and runs a basic `replaceText`
|
||||
helper function to insert the version numbers into the HTML document.
|
||||
|
||||
To attach this script to your renderer process, pass in the path to your preload script
|
||||
to the `webPreferences.preload` option in your existing `BrowserWindow` constructor.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// include the Node.js 'path' module at the top of your file
|
||||
const path = require('path')
|
||||
|
||||
// modify your existing createWindow() function
|
||||
function createWindow () {
|
||||
const win = new BrowserWindow({
|
||||
width: 800,
|
||||
height: 600,
|
||||
preload: path.join(__dirname, 'preload.js')
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
win.loadFile('index.html')
|
||||
}
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There are two Node.js concepts that are used here:
|
||||
|
||||
* The [`__dirname`][dirname] string points to the path of the currently executing script
|
||||
(in this case, your project's root folder).
|
||||
* The [`path.join`][path-join] API joins multiple path segments together, creating a
|
||||
combined path string that works across all platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
We use a path relative to the currently executing JavaScript file so that your relative
|
||||
path will work in both development and packaged mode.

||||

||||

|
||||
[path-join]: https://nodejs.org/api/path.html#path_path_join_paths
|
||||
|
||||
### Bonus: Add functionality to your web contents
|
||||
|
||||
At this point, you might be wondering how to add more functionality to your application.
|
||||
|
||||
For any interactions with your web contents, you want to add scripts to your
|
||||
renderer process. Because the renderer runs in a normal web environment, you can add a
|
||||
`<script>` tag right before your `index.html` file's closing `</body>` tag to include
|
||||
any arbitrary scripts you want:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<script src="./renderer.js"></script>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The code contained in `renderer.js` can then use the same JavaScript APIs and tooling
|
||||
you use for typical front-end development, such as using [`webpack`][webpack] to bundle
|
||||
and minify your code or [React][react] to manage your user interfaces.

After following the above steps, you should have a fully functional
|
||||
Electron application that looks like this:

```
|

|
||||
##### What is going on above?
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// preload.js
|
||||
|
||||
1. Line 1: First, you import the `app` and `BrowserWindow` modules of the `electron` package to be able to manage your application's lifecycle events, as well as create and control browser windows.
|
||||
2. Line 2: Second, you import the `path` package which provides utility functions for file paths.
|
||||
3. Line 4: After that, you define a function that creates a [new browser window](../api/browser-window.md#new-browserwindowoptions) with a preload script, loads `index.html` file into this window (line 13, we will discuss the file later).
|
||||
4. Line 16: You create a new browser window by invoking the `createWindow` function once the Electron application [is initialized](../api/app.md#appwhenready).
|
||||
5. Line 18: You add a new listener that creates a new browser window only if when the application has no visible windows after being activated. For example, after launching the application for the first time, or re-launching the already running application.
|
||||
6. Line 25: You add a new listener that tries to quit the application when it no longer has any open windows. This listener is a no-op on macOS due to the operating system's [window management behavior](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/mac-help/mchlp2469/mac).
|
||||
|
||||
#### Create a web page
|
||||
|
||||
This is the web page you want to display once the application is initialized. This web page represents the Renderer process. You can create multiple browser windows, where each window uses its own independent Renderer. You can optionally grant access to additional Node.js APIs by exposing them from your preload script.
|
||||
|
||||
The `index.html` page looks as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
```html fiddle='docs/fiddles/quick-start'
|
||||
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||||
<html>
|
||||
<head>
|
||||
<meta charset="UTF-8">
|
||||

|
||||

</body>
|
||||
</html>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Define a preload script
|
||||
|
||||
Your preload script acts as a bridge between Node.js and your web page. It allows you to expose specific APIs and behaviors to your web page rather than insecurely exposing the entire Node.js API. In this example we will use the preload script to read version information from the `process` object and update the web page with that info.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript fiddle='docs/fiddles/quick-start'
|
||||
// All of the Node.js APIs are available in the preload process.
|
||||
// It has the same sandbox as a Chrome extension.
|
||||
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
|
||||
const replaceText = (selector, text) => {
|
||||
const element = document.getElementById(selector)
|
||||
if (element) element.innerText = text
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
for (const type of ['chrome', 'node', 'electron']) {
|
||||
replaceText(`${type}-version`, process.versions[type])
|
||||
for (const dependency of ['chrome', 'node', 'electron']) {
|
||||
replaceText(`${dependency}-version`, process.versions[dependency])
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### What's going on above?

|
||||
|
||||
#### Modify your package.json file
|
||||
|
||||
Your Electron application uses the `package.json` file as the main entry point (as any other Node.js application). The main script of your application is `main.js`, so modify the `package.json` file accordingly:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "my-electron-app",
|
||||
"version": "0.1.0",
|
||||
"author": "your name",
|
||||
"description": "My Electron app",
|
||||
"main": "main.js"
|
||||
}
|
||||
<!-- You can also require other files to run in this process -->
|
||||
<script src="./renderer.js"></script>
|
||||
</body>
|
||||
</html>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> NOTE: If the `main` field is omitted, Electron will attempt to load an `index.js` file from the directory containing `package.json`.
|
||||
|
||||
> NOTE: The `author` and `description` fields are required for packaging, otherwise error will occur when running `npm run make`.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the `npm start` command will run the main script with Node.js. To run the script with Electron, you need to change it as such:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "my-electron-app",
|
||||
"version": "0.1.0",
|
||||
"author": "your name",
|
||||
"description": "My Electron app",
|
||||
"main": "main.js",
|
||||
"scripts": {
|
||||
"start": "electron ."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```fiddle docs/fiddles/quickstart
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Run your application
|
||||
To summarize all the steps we've done:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm start
|
||||
```
|
||||
* We bootstrapped a Node.js application and added Electron as a dependency.
|
||||
* We created a `main.js` script that runs our main process, which controls our app
|
||||
and runs in a Node.js environment. In this script, we used Electron's `app` and
|
||||
`BrowserWindow` modules to create a browser window that displays web content
|
||||
in a separate process (the renderer).
|
||||
* In order to access certain Node.js functionality in the renderer, we attached
|
||||
a preload script to our `BrowserWindow` constructor.

## Learning the basics
|
||||
|
||||
This section guides you through the basics of how Electron works under the hood. It aims at strengthening knowledge about Electron and the application created earlier in the Quickstart section.
|
||||
|
||||
### Application architecture
|
||||
|
||||
Electron consists of three main pillars:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Chromium** for displaying web content.
|
||||
* **Node.js** for working with the local filesystem and the operating system.
|
||||
* **Custom APIs** for working with often-needed OS native functions.
|
||||
|
||||
Developing an application with Electron is like building a Node.js app with a web interface or building web pages with seamless Node.js integration.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Main and Renderer Processes
|
||||
|
||||
As it was mentioned before, Electron has two types of processes: Main and Renderer.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Main process **creates** web pages by creating `BrowserWindow` instances. Each `BrowserWindow` instance runs the web page in its Renderer process. When a `BrowserWindow` instance is destroyed, the corresponding Renderer process gets terminated as well.
|
||||
* The Main process **manages** all web pages and their corresponding Renderer processes.
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
* The Renderer process **manages** only the corresponding web page. A crash in one Renderer process does not affect other Renderer processes.
|
||||
* The Renderer process **communicates** with the Main process via IPC to perform GUI operations in a web page. Calling native GUI-related APIs from the Renderer process directly is restricted due to security concerns and potential resource leakage.
|
||||
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
The communication between processes is possible via Inter-Process Communication (IPC) modules: [`ipcMain`](../api/ipc-main.md) and [`ipcRenderer`](../api/ipc-renderer.md).
|
||||
|
||||
#### APIs
|
||||
|
||||
##### Electron API
|
||||
|
||||
Electron APIs are assigned based on the process type, meaning that some modules can be used from either the Main or Renderer process, and some from both. Electron's API documentation indicates which process each module can be used from.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to access the Electron API in both processes, require its included module:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const electron = require('electron')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To create a window, call the `BrowserWindow` class, which is only available in the Main process:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
|
||||
const win = new BrowserWindow()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To call the Main process from the Renderer, use the IPC module:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// In the Main process
|
||||
const { ipcMain } = require('electron')
|
||||
|
||||
ipcMain.handle('perform-action', (event, ...args) => {
|
||||
// ... do actions on behalf of the Renderer
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// In the Renderer process
|
||||
const { ipcRenderer } = require('electron')
|
||||
|
||||
ipcRenderer.invoke('perform-action', ...args)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> NOTE: Because Renderer processes may run untrusted code (especially from third parties), it is important to carefully validate the requests that come to the Main process.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Node.js API
|
||||
|
||||
> NOTE: To access the Node.js API from the Renderer process, you need to set the `nodeIntegration` preference to `true` and the `contextIsolation` preference to `false`. Please note that access to the Node.js API in any renderer that loads remote content is not recommended for [security reasons](../tutorial/security.md#2-do-not-enable-nodejs-integration-for-remote-content).
|
||||
|
||||
Electron exposes full access to Node.js API and its modules both in the Main and the Renderer processes. For example, you can read all the files from the root directory:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const fs = require('fs')
|
||||
|
||||
const root = fs.readdirSync('/')
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(root)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To use a Node.js module, you first need to install it as a dependency:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
npm install --save aws-sdk
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, in your Electron application, require the module:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const S3 = require('aws-sdk/clients/s3')
|
||||

# REPL
|
||||
|
||||
Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) is a simple, interactive computer programming
|
||||
environment that takes single user inputs (i.e. single expressions), evaluates
|
||||
them, and returns the result to the user.
|
||||
[Read-Eval-Print-Loop](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read%E2%80%93eval%E2%80%93print_loop) (REPL)
|
||||
is a simple, interactive computer programming environment that takes single user
|
||||
inputs (i.e. single expressions), evaluates them, and returns the result to the user.
|
||||
|
||||
The `repl` module provides a REPL implementation that can be accessed using:
|
||||
## Main process
|
||||
|
||||
* Assuming you have `electron` or `electron-prebuilt` installed as a local
|
||||
project dependency:
|
||||
Electron exposes the [Node.js `repl` module](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/repl.html)
|
||||
through the `--interactive` CLI flag. Assuming you have `electron` installed as a local project
|
||||
dependency, you should be able to access the REPL with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./node_modules/.bin/electron --interactive
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Assuming you have `electron` or `electron-prebuilt` installed globally:
|
||||
**Note:** `electron --interactive` is not available on Windows
|
||||
(see [electron/electron#5776](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/5776) for more details).
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
electron --interactive
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Renderer process
|
||||
|
||||
This only creates a REPL for the main process. You can use the Console
|
||||
tab of the Dev Tools to get a REPL for the renderer processes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** `electron --interactive` is not available on Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
More information can be found in the [Node.js REPL docs](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/repl.html).
|
||||
You can use the DevTools Console tab to get a REPL for any renderer process.
