electron-document-manager v0.1.0

electron-document-manager

electron-document-manager is an Electron package that manages opening, saving and closing documents. All you have to do is drop in your web app, define setContent and getContent methods, and electron-document-manager will manage the rest – including everything in the main process.

Some of the document code is based on jdittrich's fantastic Electron_appFileOperations script.

Example Use

Main Process

main.js

var DocumentManager = require('electron-document-manager').main;

DocumentManager({ entryPoint: 'file://' + __dirname + '/app/index.html' });

Renderer Process

index.html

<textarea id="content"></textarea>
<script src="index.js"></script>

index.js

var DocumentManager = require('electron-document-manager').getRendererModule();

DocumentManager.setContentSetter(function(content) {
	document.querySelector('#content').value = content;
});

DocumentManager.setContentGetter(function() {
	return document.querySelector('#content').value;
})

document.querySelector('#content').addEventListener('input', function() {
	DocumentManager.setEdited(true);
});
