electron-modal-window v1.0.0
electron-modal-window
Easily create and use electron modal windows
npm install electron-modal-window
Usage
In your "main" renderer process where you want to spawn a modal from do
const modal = require('electron-modal-window')
const m = modal.createModal(`file://${__dirname}/modal.html`, {
width: 300,
height: 300 // and pass any other electron BrowserWindow opts you want
})
m.window // this is the modal BrowserWindow
m.on('hello', function (cb) {
// emitted when the modal sends 'hello'
cb(null, 'world')
})
In the js for modal.html
const modal = require('electron-modal-window')
m.send('hello', function (err, val) {
console.log('they said', val)
})
// m.window is the current window
API
m = modal.createModal([url, browserWindowOptions])
Make a new module. Set url
to the url the modal should load.
All browserWindowOptions
are forwarded to the BrowserWindow constructor.
m.window
The attached BrowserWindow instance.
m.on(name, args..., callback)
Emitted when the modal sends a message. You can reply back by calling the calling cb.
m.send(name, args..., [callback])
Send a message to the modal. The optional callback is called with the reply. If an error occured (i.e. the modal sent an error or the modal closed) it will be passed to the callback.
modal.on(name, args..., callback)
Same as m.on
but use this in the modal window to listen for messages from the modal creator.
modal.send(name, args..., [callback])
Same as m.send
but use this in the modal window to message the modal creator.
modal.window
The modals own window instance.
