electron

I have been playing around with the file system drag and drop functionality of Electron apps and haven't had any issues getting everything to work with local files. I have not come across anything in the documentation, so I'd like to see if anyone knows if this is possible. I'd like to use the drag-out feature in Electron to drag a remote file outside of the app and onto the file system. Specific example: The program I am working on is a remote file management tool - similar to dropbox. I'd like to drag the dom element representing the remote file to a Finder (or Windows Explorer) window and

I have an electron app with multiple html files in the root directory. index.html page1.html page.html I cannot find a way to redirect from index.html to page1.html once Electro has started. Does anyone know how to do this? When your first page is index.html you call that page, when you create your window. const win = new BrowserWindow(options); win.loadUrl(`file://${__dirname}/index.html`); If you want to load another page maybe win.loadUrl(`file://${__dirname}/page.html`); could help you. If the page should be loaded after a user action (e.g. click on a link). You can add the link to your

I am trying to set up unit tests and e2e tests for an application I have running with Electron using Protractor .

I am using Electron to create an app, and wanted to get to select and insert/update some table in a MySQL Database in my localhost, how can I make the connection with the Database ? PS: I am very new to Electron Thank you for your help. Shawn Rakowski Electron is the combination of Chromium, the web renderer used in Chrome, and Node.js. Adding Node.js to the mix gives Electron the ability to work with the native OS in ways normal web pages cannot. With Node.js at your disposal you have access to all the libraries that are currently available to Node, and so the answer to this question is the

We are working with Atom Shell (Currently known as electron ) to wrap a web application as desktop app and having trouble making cross domain ajax calls due to CORS restriction. We also tried nw.js (Formerly known as Node-Webkit) and we had no problem making cross domain ajax call with it. Is Atom Shell (Electron) restricts cross domain calls by default ? Lionep If the webpage is loaded in "file://" mode and not served by an http server, you can make ajax calls by default. If you still have troubles with CORS restrictions, you can set this option to the browser-window object : var

I am creating an electron app where I need to scan and update files which need root permission. I know I can run such commands using sudo.exec() in that way: sudo.exec ("rm /private/var/log/fsck_hfs.log", options, (e, stdout, stderr) => {}); And even I can put multiple commands in a script and execute them with single sudo.exec(). In my case, commands needs to be executed at different point of time and I cannot execute them with a single script. It is annoying for user to grant permissions again and again. I tried to do it another way (to run a piece of code where everything that require root
