The `BrowserWindow` class exposes various ways to modify the look and behavior of
your app's windows. For more details, see the [Window Customization](../tutorial/window-customization.md)
tutorial.
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
## Showing the window gracefully
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
When loading a page in the window directly, users may see the page load incrementally,
which is not a good experience for a native app. To make the window display
without a visual flash, there are two solutions for different situations.
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
### Using the `ready-to-show` event
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
While loading the page, the `ready-to-show` event will be emitted when the renderer
process has rendered the page for the first time if the window has not been shown yet. Showing
the window after this event will have no visual flash:
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
```javascript
2018-09-13 16:10:51 +00:00
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
2020-07-09 17:18:49 +00:00
const win = new BrowserWindow({ show: false })
2016-06-13 13:19:44 +00:00
win.once('ready-to-show', () => {
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
win.show()
})
```
2017-02-13 08:14:49 +00:00
This event is usually emitted after the `did-finish-load` event, but for
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
pages with many remote resources, it may be emitted before the `did-finish-load`
event.
Please note that using this event implies that the renderer will be considered "visible" and
paint even though `show` is false. This event will never fire if you use `paintWhenInitiallyHidden: false`
### Setting the `backgroundColor` property
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
For a complex app, the `ready-to-show` event could be emitted too late, making
the app feel slow. In this case, it is recommended to show the window
immediately, and use a `backgroundColor` close to your app's background:
```javascript
2018-09-13 16:10:51 +00:00
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
2020-07-09 17:18:49 +00:00
const win = new BrowserWindow({ backgroundColor: '#2e2c29' })
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
win.loadURL('https://github.com')
```
Note that even for apps that use `ready-to-show` event, it is still recommended
2022-03-07 22:17:12 +00:00
to set `backgroundColor` to make the app feel more native.
2013-09-09 06:52:46 +00:00
Some examples of valid `backgroundColor` values include:
```js
const win = new BrowserWindow()
win.setBackgroundColor('hsl(230, 100%, 50%)')
win.setBackgroundColor('rgb(255, 145, 145)')
win.setBackgroundColor('#ff00a3')
win.setBackgroundColor('blueviolet')
```
For more information about these color types see valid options in [win.setBackgroundColor](browser-window.md#winsetbackgroundcolorbackgroundcolor).
2016-06-20 02:06:48 +00:00
## Parent and child windows
By using `parent` option, you can create child windows:
```javascript
2018-09-13 16:10:51 +00:00
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
2020-07-09 17:18:49 +00:00
const top = new BrowserWindow()
const child = new BrowserWindow({ parent: top })
child.show()
top.show()
2016-06-20 02:06:48 +00:00
```
The `child` window will always show on top of the `top` window.
## Modal windows
2016-06-20 02:06:48 +00:00
A modal window is a child window that disables parent window, to create a modal
window, you have to set both `parent` and `modal` options:
2016-06-20 02:06:48 +00:00
```javascript
2018-09-13 16:10:51 +00:00
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
2020-07-09 17:18:49 +00:00
const child = new BrowserWindow({ parent: top, modal: true, show: false })
2016-06-20 02:06:48 +00:00
child.loadURL('https://github.com')
child.once('ready-to-show', () => {
child.show()
})
```
## Page visibility
The [Page Visibility API][page-visibility-api] works as follows:
* On all platforms, the visibility state tracks whether the window is
hidden/minimized or not.
* Additionally, on macOS, the visibility state also tracks the window
occlusion state. If the window is occluded (i.e. fully covered) by another
window, the visibility state will be `hidden`. On other platforms, the
visibility state will be `hidden` only when the window is minimized or
explicitly hidden with `win.hide()`.
* If a `BrowserWindow` is created with `show: false`, the initial visibility
state will be `visible` despite the window actually being hidden.
* If `backgroundThrottling` is disabled, the visibility state will remain
`visible` even if the window is minimized, occluded, or hidden.
It is recommended that you pause expensive operations when the visibility
state is `hidden` in order to minimize power consumption.
## Platform notices
2016-06-20 02:06:48 +00:00
* On macOS modal windows will be displayed as sheets attached to the parent window.
* On macOS the child windows will keep the relative position to parent window
2016-06-20 02:06:48 +00:00
when parent window moves, while on Windows and Linux child windows will not
move.
* On Linux the type of modal windows will be changed to `dialog`.
* On Linux many desktop environments do not support hiding a modal window.

## Class: BrowserWindow
> Create and control browser windows.
2016-11-23 19:20:56 +00:00
Process: [Main](../glossary.md#main-process)
`BrowserWindow` is an [EventEmitter][event-emitter].
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00
It creates a new `BrowserWindow` with native properties as set by the `options`.
2015-11-21 04:42:40 +00:00
### `new BrowserWindow([options])`
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00
* `options` [BrowserWindowConstructorOptions](structures/browser-window-options.md?inline) (optional)
### Instance Events
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00
2016-07-13 04:30:27 +00:00
Objects created with `new BrowserWindow` emit the following events:
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
**Note:** Some events are only available on specific operating systems and are
labeled as such.
2015-08-26 21:14:59 +00:00
#### Event: 'page-title-updated'
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00
Returns:
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
* `event` Event
* `title` string
* `explicitSet` boolean
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
Emitted when the document changed its title, calling `event.preventDefault()`
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
will prevent the native window's title from changing.
`explicitSet` is false when title is synthesized from file URL.
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
#### Event: 'close'
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00
Returns:
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
* `event` Event
Emitted when the window is going to be closed. It's emitted before the
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00
`beforeunload` and `unload` event of the DOM. Calling `event.preventDefault()`
will cancel the close.
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
Usually you would want to use the `beforeunload` handler to decide whether the
window should be closed, which will also be called when the window is
reloaded. In Electron, returning any value other than `undefined` would cancel the
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00
close. For example:
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
```javascript
window.onbeforeunload = (e) => {
console.log('I do not want to be closed')
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
// Unlike usual browsers that a message box will be prompted to users, returning
// a non-void value will silently cancel the close.
// It is recommended to use the dialog API to let the user confirm closing the
// application.
e.returnValue = false
}
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
```
_**Note**: There is a subtle difference between the behaviors of `window.onbeforeunload = handler` and `window.addEventListener('beforeunload', handler)`. It is recommended to always set the `event.returnValue` explicitly, instead of only returning a value, as the former works more consistently within Electron._
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
#### Event: 'closed'
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
Emitted when the window is closed. After you have received this event you should
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
remove the reference to the window and avoid using it any more.
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
#### Event: 'session-end' _Windows_
2017-04-21 20:45:30 +00:00
Emitted when window session is going to end due to force shutdown or machine restart
2017-04-21 20:45:30 +00:00
or session log off.
#### Event: 'unresponsive'
2014-01-15 14:42:47 +00:00
2014-05-07 06:34:53 +00:00
Emitted when the web page becomes unresponsive.
2014-01-15 14:42:47 +00:00
#### Event: 'responsive'
2014-01-15 14:42:47 +00:00
Emitted when the unresponsive web page becomes responsive again.
#### Event: 'blur'
2014-01-15 14:42:47 +00:00
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00
Emitted when the window loses focus.
2014-01-15 14:42:47 +00:00
#### Event: 'focus'
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00
Emitted when the window gains focus.
#### Event: 'show'
Emitted when the window is shown.
#### Event: 'hide'
Emitted when the window is hidden.
#### Event: 'ready-to-show'
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
Emitted when the web page has been rendered (while not being shown) and window can be displayed without
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
a visual flash.
2016-06-13 13:11:40 +00:00
Please note that using this event implies that the renderer will be considered "visible" and
paint even though `show` is false. This event will never fire if you use `paintWhenInitiallyHidden: false`
#### Event: 'maximize'
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
Emitted when window is maximized.
#### Event: 'unmaximize'
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
Emitted when the window exits from a maximized state.
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
#### Event: 'minimize'
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00
Emitted when the window is minimized.
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
#### Event: 'restore'
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
Emitted when the window is restored from a minimized state.
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
#### Event: 'will-resize' _macOS_ _Windows_
Returns:
* `event` Event
* `newBounds` [Rectangle](structures/rectangle.md) - Size the window is being resized to.
* `details` Object
* `edge` (string) - The edge of the window being dragged for resizing. Can be `bottom`, `left`, `right`, `top-left`, `top-right`, `bottom-left` or `bottom-right`.
Emitted before the window is resized. Calling `event.preventDefault()` will prevent the window from being resized.
Note that this is only emitted when the window is being resized manually. Resizing the window with `setBounds`/`setSize` will not emit this event.
The possible values and behaviors of the `edge` option are platform dependent. Possible values are:
* On Windows, possible values are `bottom`, `top`, `left`, `right`, `top-left`, `top-right`, `bottom-left`, `bottom-right`.
* On macOS, possible values are `bottom` and `right`.
* The value `bottom` is used to denote vertical resizing.
* The value `right` is used to denote horizontal resizing.
#### Event: 'resize'
2015-05-09 15:55:10 +00:00
Emitted after the window has been resized.
2015-05-09 15:55:10 +00:00
#### Event: 'resized' _macOS_ _Windows_
Emitted once when the window has finished being resized.
This is usually emitted when the window has been resized manually. On macOS, resizing the window with `setBounds`/`setSize` and setting the `animate` parameter to `true` will also emit this event once resizing has finished.
#### Event: 'will-move' _macOS_ _Windows_
Returns:
* `event` Event
* `newBounds` [Rectangle](structures/rectangle.md) - Location the window is being moved to.
Emitted before the window is moved. On Windows, calling `event.preventDefault()` will prevent the window from being moved.
Note that this is only emitted when the window is being moved manually. Moving the window with `setPosition`/`setBounds`/`center` will not emit this event.
#### Event: 'move'
2015-05-09 15:55:10 +00:00
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
Emitted when the window is being moved to a new position.
2015-05-20 08:37:13 +00:00
#### Event: 'moved' _macOS_ _Windows_
2015-05-20 08:37:13 +00:00
Emitted once when the window is moved to a new position.
2015-05-09 15:55:10 +00:00
**Note**: On macOS this event is an alias of `move`.
#### Event: 'enter-full-screen'
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
Emitted when the window enters a full-screen state.
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
#### Event: 'leave-full-screen'
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
Emitted when the window leaves a full-screen state.
2014-11-25 06:43:11 +00:00
#### Event: 'enter-html-full-screen'
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
Emitted when the window enters a full-screen state triggered by HTML API.
#### Event: 'leave-html-full-screen'
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
Emitted when the window leaves a full-screen state triggered by HTML API.
#### Event: 'always-on-top-changed'
Returns:
* `event` Event
* `isAlwaysOnTop` boolean
Emitted when the window is set or unset to show always on top of other windows.
#### Event: 'app-command' _Windows_ _Linux_
2015-06-19 19:58:47 +00:00
Returns:
* `event` Event
* `command` string
Emitted when an [App Command](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/wm-appcommand)
2015-08-24 22:41:02 +00:00
is invoked. These are typically related to keyboard media keys or browser
commands, as well as the "Back" button built into some mice on Windows.
2015-06-19 19:58:47 +00:00
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
Commands are lowercased, underscores are replaced with hyphens, and the
`APPCOMMAND_` prefix is stripped off.
e.g. `APPCOMMAND_BROWSER_BACKWARD` is emitted as `browser-backward`.
2016-04-22 14:15:31 +00:00
```javascript
2018-09-13 16:10:51 +00:00
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
2020-07-09 17:18:49 +00:00
const win = new BrowserWindow()
win.on('app-command', (e, cmd) => {
2015-06-19 19:58:47 +00:00
// Navigate the window back when the user hits their mouse back button
if (cmd === 'browser-backward' && win.webContents.canGoBack()) {
win.webContents.goBack()
2015-06-19 19:58:47 +00:00
}
})
2015-06-19 19:58:47 +00:00
```
The following app commands are explicitly supported on Linux:
* `browser-backward`
* `browser-forward`

Emitted on 3-finger swipe. Possible directions are `up`, `right`, `down`, `left`.
The method underlying this event is built to handle older macOS-style trackpad swiping,
where the content on the screen doesn't move with the swipe. Most macOS trackpads are not
configured to allow this kind of swiping anymore, so in order for it to emit properly the
'Swipe between pages' preference in `System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures` must be
set to 'Swipe with two or three fingers'.
#### Event: 'rotate-gesture' _macOS_
Returns:
* `event` Event
* `rotation` Float
Emitted on trackpad rotation gesture. Continually emitted until rotation gesture is
ended. The `rotation` value on each emission is the angle in degrees rotated since
the last emission. The last emitted event upon a rotation gesture will always be of
value `0`. Counter-clockwise rotation values are positive, while clockwise ones are
negative.
#### Event: 'sheet-begin' _macOS_
Emitted when the window opens a sheet.
#### Event: 'sheet-end' _macOS_
Emitted when the window has closed a sheet.
#### Event: 'new-window-for-tab' _macOS_
Emitted when the native new tab button is clicked.
#### Event: 'system-context-menu' _Windows_
Returns:
* `event` Event
* `point` [Point](structures/point.md) - The screen coordinates the context menu was triggered at
Emitted when the system context menu is triggered on the window, this is
normally only triggered when the user right clicks on the non-client area
of your window. This is the window titlebar or any area you have declared
as `-webkit-app-region: drag` in a frameless window.
Calling `event.preventDefault()` will prevent the menu from being displayed.

2015-09-09 20:57:35 +00:00
#### `win.destroy()`
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
Force closing the window, the `unload` and `beforeunload` event won't be emitted
2015-08-20 13:17:53 +00:00

2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
* `flag` boolean
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00
Sets whether the window should be in fullscreen mode.
**Note:** On macOS, fullscreen transitions take place asynchronously. If further actions depend on the fullscreen state, use the ['enter-full-screen'](browser-window.md#event-enter-full-screen) or ['leave-full-screen'](browser-window.md#event-leave-full-screen) events.
#### `win.isFullScreen()`
2013-08-14 22:43:35 +00:00

Returns `boolean` - Whether the window is in simple (pre-Lion) fullscreen mode.
#### `win.isNormal()`
Returns `boolean` - Whether the window is in normal state (not maximized, not minimized, not in fullscreen mode).
#### `win.setAspectRatio(aspectRatio[, extraSize])`
2016-07-29 09:53:01 +00:00
* `aspectRatio` Float - The aspect ratio to maintain for some portion of the
2015-08-24 22:41:02 +00:00
content view.
* `extraSize` [Size](structures/size.md) (optional) _macOS_ - The extra size not to be included while
maintaining the aspect ratio.
2016-07-13 04:40:46 +00:00
This will make a window maintain an aspect ratio. The extra size allows a
developer to have space, specified in pixels, not included within the aspect
ratio calculations. This API already takes into account the difference between a
2015-08-24 22:41:02 +00:00
window's size and its content size.
2015-08-24 22:41:02 +00:00
Consider a normal window with an HD video player and associated controls.
Perhaps there are 15 pixels of controls on the left edge, 25 pixels of controls
on the right edge and 50 pixels of controls below the player. In order to
maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio (standard aspect ratio for HD @1920x1080) within
the player itself we would call this function with arguments of 16/9 and
{ width: 40, height: 50 }. The second argument doesn't care where the extra width and height
are within the content view--only that they exist. Sum any extra width and
2015-08-24 22:41:02 +00:00
height areas you have within the overall content view.
The aspect ratio is not respected when window is resized programmatically with
APIs like `win.setSize`.
To reset an aspect ratio, pass 0 as the `aspectRatio` value: `win.setAspectRatio(0)`.
#### `win.setBackgroundColor(backgroundColor)`
* `backgroundColor` string - Color in Hex, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA or named CSS color format. The alpha channel is optional for the hex type.
Examples of valid `backgroundColor` values:
* Hex
* #fff (shorthand RGB)
* #ffff (shorthand ARGB)
* #ffffff (RGB)
* #ffffffff (ARGB)
* RGB
* rgb\((\[\d]+),\s*(\[\d]+),\s*(\[\d]+)\)
* e.g. rgb(255, 255, 255)
* RGBA
* rgba\((\[\d]+),\s*(\[\d]+),\s*(\[\d]+),\s*(\[\d.]+)\)
* e.g. rgba(255, 255, 255, 1.0)
* HSL
* hsl\((-?\[\d.]+),\s*(\[\d.]+)%,\s*(\[\d.]+)%\)
* e.g. hsl(200, 20%, 50%)
* HSLA
* hsla\((-?\[\d.]+),\s*(\[\d.]+)%,\s*(\[\d.]+)%,\s*(\[\d.]+)\)
* e.g. hsla(200, 20%, 50%, 0.5)
* Color name
* Options are listed in [SkParseColor.cpp](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/skia/src/utils/SkParseColor.cpp;l=11-152;drc=eea4bf52cb0d55e2a39c828b017c80a5ee054148)
* Similar to CSS Color Module Level 3 keywords, but case-sensitive.
* e.g. `blueviolet` or `red`
Sets the background color of the window. See [Setting `backgroundColor`](#setting-the-backgroundcolor-property).
2016-10-26 00:55:34 +00:00
#### `win.previewFile(path[, displayName])` _macOS_
2016-10-13 03:46:42 +00:00
* `path` string - The absolute path to the file to preview with QuickLook. This
2016-10-26 00:55:34 +00:00
is important as Quick Look uses the file name and file extension on the path
to determine the content type of the file to open.
* `displayName` string (optional) - The name of the file to display on the
2016-10-26 00:47:22 +00:00
Quick Look modal view. This is purely visual and does not affect the content
type of the file. Defaults to `path`.
2016-10-13 15:20:47 +00:00
2016-10-26 00:47:22 +00:00

* `bounds` Partial<[Rectangle](structures/rectangle.md)>
* `animate` boolean (optional) _macOS_
Resizes and moves the window to the supplied bounds. Any properties that are not supplied will default to their current values.
```javascript
const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
const win = new BrowserWindow()
// set all bounds properties
win.setBounds({ x: 440, y: 225, width: 800, height: 600 })
// set a single bounds property

2018-02-06 14:16:22 +00:00
#### `win.setEnabled(enable)`

HTML file using the `file://` protocol.
2016-08-19 20:31:57 +00:00
To ensure that file URLs are properly formatted, it is recommended to use
Node's [`url.format`](https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_url_format_urlobject)
method:
```javascript
2020-07-09 17:18:49 +00:00

})
win.loadURL(url)
```
2016-12-07 00:48:22 +00:00
You can load a URL using a `POST` request with URL-encoded data by doing
the following:
```javascript
win.loadURL('http://localhost:8000/post', {
postData: [{

type between UIElementApplication and ForegroundApplication to
ensure the correct behavior. However, this will hide the window
and dock for a short time every time it is called. If your window
is already of type UIElementApplication, you can bypass this
transformation by passing true to skipTransformProcessType.
Sets whether the window should be visible on all workspaces.

Implement initial, experimental BrowserView API Right now, `<webview>` is the only way to embed additional content in a `BrowserWindow`. Unfortunately `<webview>` suffers from a [number of problems](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue%20is%3Aopen%20label%3Awebview%20). To make matters worse, many of these are upstream Chromium bugs instead of Electron-specific bugs. For us at [Figma](https://www.figma.com), the main issue is very slow performance. Despite the upstream improvements to `<webview>` through the OOPIF work, it is probable that there will continue to be `<webview>`-specific bugs in the future. Therefore, this introduces a `<webview>` alternative to called `BrowserView`, which... - is a thin wrapper around `api::WebContents` (so bugs in `BrowserView` will likely also be bugs in `BrowserWindow` web contents) - is instantiated in the main process like `BrowserWindow` (and unlike `<webview>`, which lives in the DOM of a `BrowserWindow` web contents) - needs to be added to a `BrowserWindow` to display something on the screen This implements the most basic API. The API is expected to evolve and change in the near future and has consequently been marked as experimental. Please do not use this API in production unless you are prepared to deal with breaking changes. In the future, we will want to change the API to support multiple `BrowserView`s per window. We will also want to consider z-ordering auto-resizing, and possibly even nested views.

#### `win.setBrowserView(browserView)` _Experimental_
* `browserView` [BrowserView](browser-view.md) | null - Attach `browserView` to `win`.
