Check if code is running in Electron renderer
process.
Electron code can run in either the main
process or
the renderer
process. This is the same as asking if
the code is running in a web page with access to the
DOM or not. Read more here: https://github.com/atom/electron/blob/master/docs/tutorial/quick-start.md
main
or renderer
.main
) would be responsible for writing to log files, while
renderers would send log data to the main
. Would allow your code to have one log
method.console.log
behavior. console.log
behavior is weird in renderer
, this can easily be fixed.Excellent discussion here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/ama/issues/10. If that doesn't convince you,
then maybe the fact that Electron could change the way that they inherit global
in renderer
and
if they do, you would have to change your code whereas if you used this module, you'd just have to update
to the latest version =)
npm i --save is-electron-renderer
You'll notice that when using console.log
in Electron that in the renderer
process
outputs some weird log level garbage to stderr
before your actual console message.
You can normalize this behavior:
console-hook.js:
// clean up Electron output
function hook () {
var isRenderer = require('is-electron-renderer')
var pre = '(' + (isRenderer ? 'RENDERER' : 'MAIN') + ') '
console.log = function (msg) {
process.stdout.write(pre + msg + '\n')
}
}
module.exports = {
hook: hook
}
index.js:
require('./console-hook').hook()
console.log('hello')
output (main):
(MAIN) hello
output (renderer):
(RENDERER) hello
var isRenderer = require('is-electron-renderer')
console.log(isRenderer)
// => (BOOLEAN)
