Docs

This section is the documentation for Electron Tools

To get started, you're gonna need the package. To get it, you need NPM. If you're looking at this page, we expect that you're somewhat expirenced with Electron.

Install

If Electron isn't already installed in your project, NPM will install it for you before installing Electron Tools.

Make sure you already have your project initialized with npm init

Setup

To get Electron Tools setup in your project, like any other Node Module, all you have to do is require it in the renderer process.

const et = require("electron-tools");

That's all there is to getting it in your project.

Functions and calling them

As of writing this, electron tools is on version 2.0.0. So some things may change.

To call a function you must use that name of the constant you used earlier. We used et.

Use that name and then .whatEverFunction();

Example:

et.openLink("https://github.com/77Z/electron-tools");

You can also add a dot at the end of the require to only require one function, like so:

const openLink = require("electron-tools").openLink;

Then you just call openLink like so:

openLink("https://github.com/77Z/electron-tools");
