@todesktop/runtime

runtime

The ToDesktop runtime package which takes care of auto-updating, crash reporting, and more. For more information, see https://todesktop.com/cli.

Installation

Via npm:

npm install @todesktop/runtime

Or Yarn:

yarn add @todesktop/runtime

Usage

In your main (background process) script, require the package and call the init function. The key is to call it right at the beginning. We'll do the rest.

const { app, BrowserWindow } = require("electron");
const todesktop = require("@todesktop/runtime");

todesktop.init();

function createWindow() {
	// Create the browser window.
	let win = new BrowserWindow({
		width: 800,
		height: 600,
		webPreferences: {
			nodeIntegration: true
		}
	});

	// and load the index.html of the app.
	win.loadFile("index.html");
}

app.whenReady().then(createWindow);
