Okay, as I understand things this should execute the code specified inside executeJavaScript()
inside my renderer process. When I include only a console.log()
to be executed, things work flawlessly and I see the output inside the developer console. My question then is, what might be causing this to not execute? I've tried adding a console.log()
outside of my conditional and still nothing nothing appears inside developer console. What's more depending on where I insert the console.log()
errors are thrown telling me there's an unknown identifier.
Without posting the rest of my project, is there anything obviously wrong or broken about my understanding of this function? This seems like it should be pretty straight forward.
const electron = require('electron')
const remote = require('electron').remote
const ipc = require('electron').ipcRenderer
const url = require('url')
const path = require('path')
const app = electron.app
const BrowserWindow = electron.BrowserWindow
var MainWindow;
app.on('ready', function()
{
MainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
width: 1024,
height: 768,
backgroundColor : '123355',
frame: false,
resizable: true,
movable: true,
show: false
})
var win = MainWindow.webContents
MainWindow.on('ready-to-show', () => {
MainWindow.show()
console.log('Ready to go!')
})
MainWindow.loadURL(url.format({
pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'index.html'),
protocol: 'file:',
slashes: true
}))
win.executeJavaScript("document.onreadystatechange = function ()" +
"{" +
"document.getElementById('minimize-app').addEventListener('click', function (e) {" +
"var window = BrowserWindow.getFocusedWindow();" +
"window.minimize();" +
"});" +
"document.getElementById('maximize-app').addEventListener('click', function (e) {" +
"var window = BrowserWindow.getFocusedWindow();" +
"window.maximize();" +
"});" +
"document.getElementById('close-app').addEventListener('click', function (e) {" +
"var window = BrowserWindow.getFocusedWindow();" +
"window.close();" +
"});" +
"}"
);
});
