The <code>shell</code> module in Electron allows you to access certain
|
||||
native elements like the file manager and default web browser.
|
||||
</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This module works in both the main and renderer process.</p>

This demonstrates using the <code>shell</code> module to open the
|
||||
system file manager at a particular location.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Clicking the demo button will open your file manager at the root.

|
||||
If you do not want your app to open website links
|
||||
<em>within</em> the app, you can use the <code>shell</code> module
|
||||
to open them externally. When clicked, the links will open outside
|
||||
of your app and in the user's default web browser.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When the demo button is clicked, the electron website will open in
|
||||
your browser.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div>
|
||||
<h2>ProTip</h2>
|
||||
<strong>Open all outbound links externally.</strong>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You may want to open all <code>http</code> and
|
||||
<code>https</code> links outside of your app. To do this, query
|
||||
the document and loop through each link and add a listener. This
|
||||
app uses the code below which is located in
|
||||
<code>assets/ex-links.js</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h5>Renderer Process</h5>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
<code>
|
||||
const shell = require('electron').shell
|
||||
|
||||
const links = document.querySelectorAll('a[href]')
|
||||
|
||||
Array.prototype.forEach.call(links, (link) => {
|
||||
const url = link.getAttribute('href')
|
||||
if (url.indexOf('http') === 0) {
|
||||
link.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
|
||||
e.preventDefault()
|
||||
shell.openExternal(url)
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
})
|
||||
</code>
|
||||
</pre>

||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</div>
