## Modernization
The Electron team is currently undergoing an initiative to modernize our API in a few concrete ways. These include: updating our modules to use idiomatic JS properties instead of separate `getPropertyX` and `setPropertyX`, converting callbacks to promises, and removing some other anti-patterns present in our APIs. The current status of the Promise initiative can be tracked in the [promisification](promisification.md) tracking file.
As we work to perform these updates, we seek to create the least disruptive amount of change at any given time, so as many changes as possible will be introduced in a backward compatible manner and deprecated after enough time has passed to give users a chance to upgrade their API calls.
This document and its child documents will be updated to reflect the latest status of our API changes.

## Property Updates
The Electron team is currently undergoing an initiative to convert separate getter and setter functions in Electron to bespoke properties with `get` and `set` functionality. During this transition period, both the new properties and old getters and setters of these functions will work correctly and be documented.
## Candidates
* `BrowserWindow`
* `menubarVisible`
* `crashReporter` module
* `uploadToServer`
* `webFrame` modules
* `zoomFactor`
* `zoomLevel`
* `audioMuted`
* `<webview>`
* `zoomFactor`
* `zoomLevel`
* `audioMuted`
## Converted Properties
* `app` module
* `accessibilitySupport`
* `applicationMenu`
* `badgeCount`
* `name`
* `DownloadItem` class
* `savePath`
* `BrowserWindow` module
* `autoHideMenuBar`
* `resizable`
* `maximizable`
* `minimizable`
* `fullscreenable`
* `movable`
* `closable`
* `backgroundThrottling`
* `NativeImage`
* `isMacTemplateImage`
* `SystemPreferences` module
* `appLevelAppearance`

If you require the path to the selected folder rather than the folder contents,
see the `dialog.showOpenDialog` API ([link](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/dialog.md#dialogshowopendialogbrowserwindow-options)).
### API Changed: Callback-based versions of promisified APIs
Electron 5 and Electron 6 introduced Promise-based versions of existing
asynchronous APIs and deprecated their older, callback-based counterparts.
In Electron 7, all deprecated callback-based APIs are now removed.
These functions now only return Promises:

* `dialog.showMessageBox()`/`dialog.showMessageBoxSync()` [#17298](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/17298)
* `dialog.showOpenDialog()`/`dialog.showOpenDialogSync()` [#16973](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/16973)
* `dialog.showSaveDialog()`/`dialog.showSaveDialogSync()` [#17054](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/17054)

instead directly returning their number values.
