electron-chrome-context-menu

Chrome context menu for Electron browsers

Building a modern web browser requires including many features users have grown accustomed to. Context menus are a small, but noticeable feature when done improperly.

This module aims to provide a context menu with close to feature parity to that of Google Chrome.

Install

npm install electron-chrome-context-menu

Usage

// ES imports
import buildChromeContextMenu from 'electron-chrome-context-menu'
// CommonJS
const buildChromeContextMenu = require('electron-chrome-context-menu').default

const { app } = require('electron')

app.on('web-contents-created', (event, webContents) => {
  webContents.on('context-menu', (e, params) => {
    const menu = buildChromeContextMenu({
      params,
      webContents,
      openLink: (url, disposition) => {
        webContents.loadURL(url)
      }
    })

    menu.popup()
  })
})

For a complete example, see the electron-browser-shell project.
