npm: electron-main-window
Introduction
Get the main window of an Electron Application.
Finding the main window of an electron app can be tricky, this npm package solves this issue. Follow further instructions to implement the same inside your app.
Initially, I'd created electron-main-window package for OpenMTP - Advanced Android File Transfer Application for macOS. It works fine with Electron React Redux Advanced Boilerplate and electron-react-boilerplate
Installation
$ npm install electron-main-window
or
$ yarn add electron-main-window
Usage
import { getMainWindow } from 'electron-main-window';
const mainWindow = getMainWindow();
const mainWindow = require('electron-main-window').getMainWindow();
if(mainWindow !== null ){
mainWindow.webContents.send('mainWindowCommunication', "This is a test message");
}
