bd-edge-js v8.2.9

bd-edge-js

This is a fork of electron-edge-js (which is itself a fork of edge-js) patched to support BetterDiscord.

Discord runs 32-bit Electron 1.7.9 (node v7.9.0) and calls electron.app.setVersion at the start, so the version property electron-edge-js looks for isn't there.

To fix this we simply use the deprecated (but still working) process.versions['atom-shell'] property.

NB: Inspecting edge.js stuff with Chromium DevTools can sometimes crash the renderer process. Here be dragons!

Usage is the same as edge or edge-js, replace require('edge') or require('edge-js') with require('electron-edge-js'):

npm install bd-edge-js

-var edge = require('edge');
+var edge = require('bd-edge-js');

var helloWorld = edge.func(function () {/*
    async (input) => {
        return ".NET Welcomes " + input.ToString();
    }
*/});

// Do not attempt to dump `helloWorld` in DevTools. It will crash Electron!

Why use bd-edge-js?

Discord's Electron is built using specific version of Node.js. In order to use edge in Electron project you would need to recompile it using the same Node.js version.

bd-edge-js comes precompiled with correct Node.js versions.

Differences from electron-edge

• Uses same codebase as edge-js that comes with both latest code changes from edge project and additional fixes and improvements available in edge-js project.
• Supports majority of Electron versions.
