Python Overtakes JavaScript as Top Programming Language on GitHub
Python becomes GitHub's top language in 2024, driven by AI and data science projects, while AI-powered security tools are gaining adoption.
electron-to-chromium
Advanced tools
The electron-to-chromium package provides a mapping between Electron versions and Chromium versions. It allows developers to determine which version of Chromium is used in a given version of Electron. This is particularly useful for web developers targeting Electron applications, as it helps in understanding browser compatibility and feature support.
Get Chromium version for a specific Electron version
This feature allows you to get the Chromium version that corresponds to a specific Electron version.
"const electronToChromium = require('electron-to-chromium');
const chromiumVersion = electronToChromium.electronToChromium('9.0.0');
console.log(chromiumVersion); // Outputs the Chromium version used in Electron 9.0.0"
Get Electron versions for a specific Chromium version
This feature allows you to get all Electron versions that use a specific Chromium version.
"const electronToChromium = require('electron-to-chromium');
const electronVersions = electronToChromium.chromiumToElectron('83.0.4103.122');
console.log(electronVersions); // Outputs an array of Electron versions using Chromium 83.0.4103.122"
Get full list of Electron-to-Chromium mappings
This feature provides the full list of mappings between Electron and Chromium versions.
"const electronToChromium = require('electron-to-chromium');
const fullList = electronToChromium.fullList;
console.log(fullList); // Outputs the complete list of mappings"
The browserslist package allows you to share target browsers and Node.js versions between different front-end tools. It is similar to electron-to-chromium in that it helps developers target specific browser versions, but it is more general and not limited to Electron's Chromium versions.
caniuse-lite is a lighter version of the caniuse database, providing browser support tables for front-end technologies. While it does not directly map Electron versions to Chromium, it serves a similar purpose in informing developers about feature support and compatibility across different browsers and versions.
electron-releases is a package that provides information about Electron releases, including version numbers, release dates, and more. It is similar to electron-to-chromium in that it provides data about Electron versions, but it does not focus on the mapping to Chromium versions.
This repository provides a mapping of Electron versions to the Chromium version that it uses.
This package is used in Browserslist, so you can use e.g. electron >= 1.4
in Autoprefixer, Stylelint, babel-preset-env and eslint-plugin-compat.
Supported by:
Install using npm install electron-to-chromium
.
To include Electron-to-Chromium, require it:
var e2c = require('electron-to-chromium');
The Electron-to-Chromium object has 4 properties to use:
versions
An object of key-value pairs with a major Electron version as the key, and the corresponding major Chromium version as the value.
var versions = e2c.versions;
console.log(versions['1.4']);
// returns "53"
fullVersions
An object of key-value pairs with a Electron version as the key, and the corresponding full Chromium version as the value.
var versions = e2c.fullVersions;
console.log(versions['1.4.11']);
// returns "53.0.2785.143"
chromiumVersions
An object of key-value pairs with a major Chromium version as the key, and the corresponding major Electron version as the value.
var versions = e2c.chromiumVersions;
console.log(versions['54']);
// returns "1.4"
fullChromiumVersions
An object of key-value pairs with a Chromium version as the key, and an array of the corresponding major Electron versions as the value.
var versions = e2c.fullChromiumVersions;
console.log(versions['54.0.2840.101']);
// returns ["1.5.1", "1.5.0"]
electronToChromium(query)
Arguments:
A function that returns the corresponding Chromium version for a given Electron function. Returns a string.
If you provide it with a major Electron version, it will return a major Chromium version:
var chromeVersion = e2c.electronToChromium('1.4');
// chromeVersion is "53"
If you provide it with a full Electron version, it will return the full Chromium version.
var chromeVersion = e2c.electronToChromium('1.4.11');
// chromeVersion is "53.0.2785.143"
If a query does not match a Chromium version, it will return undefined
.
var chromeVersion = e2c.electronToChromium('9000');
// chromeVersion is undefined
chromiumToElectron(query)
Arguments:
Returns a string with the corresponding Electron version for a given Chromium query.
If you provide it with a major Chromium version, it will return a major Electron version:
var electronVersion = e2c.chromiumToElectron('54');
// electronVersion is "1.4"
If you provide it with a full Chrome version, it will return an array of full Electron versions.
var electronVersions = e2c.chromiumToElectron('56.0.2924.87');
// electronVersions is ["1.6.3", "1.6.2", "1.6.1", "1.6.0"]
If a query does not match an Electron version, it will return undefined
.
var electronVersion = e2c.chromiumToElectron('10');
// electronVersion is undefined
electronToBrowserList(query)
DEPRECATEDArguments:
Deprecated: Browserlist already includes electron-to-chromium.
A function that returns a Browserslist query that matches the given major Electron version. Returns a string.
If you provide it with a major Electron version, it will return a Browserlist query string that matches the Chromium capabilities:
var query = e2c.electronToBrowserList('1.4');
// query is "Chrome >= 53"
If a query does not match a Chromium version, it will return undefined
.
var query = e2c.electronToBrowserList('9000');
// query is undefined
All lists can be imported on their own, if file size is a concern.
versions
var versions = require('electron-to-chromium/versions');
fullVersions
var fullVersions = require('electron-to-chromium/full-versions');

This package will be updated with each new Electron release.
To update the list, run npm run build.js
