## 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:
