# browser-window
|
||
|
||
The `BrowserWindow` class gives you ability to create a browser window, an
|
||
example is:
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window');
|
||
|
||
var win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600, show: false });
|
||
win.on('closed', function() {
|
||
win = null;
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
win.loadUrl('https://github.com');
|
||
win.show();
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also create a window without chrome by using
|
||
[Frameless Window](frameless-window.md) API.
|
||
|
||
## Class: BrowserWindow
|
||
|
||
`BrowserWindow` is an

||
* `x` Integer - Window's left offset to screen
|
||
* `y` Integer - Window's top offset to screen
|
||
* `width` Integer - Window's width
|
||
* `height` Integer - Window's height
|
||
* `use-content-size` Boolean - The `width` and `height` would be used as web

|
||
frame's size and be slightly larger.

||
* `center` Boolean - Show window in the center of the screen

|
||
* `max-width` Integer - Maximum width
|
||
* `max-height` Integer - Maximum height
|
||
* `resizable` Boolean - Whether window is resizable

set to `false` the fullscreen button would also be hidden on OS X
|
||
* `skip-taskbar` Boolean - Do not show window in Taskbar
|
||
* `zoom-factor` Number - The default zoom factor of the page, zoom factor is
|
||
zoom percent / 100, so `3.0` represents `300%`
|
||
* `kiosk` Boolean - The kiosk mode
|
||
* `title` String - Default window title
|
||
* `icon` [NativeImage](native-image.md) - The window icon, when omitted on
|
||
Windows the executable's icon would be used as window icon
|
||
* `show` Boolean - Whether window should be shown when created
|
||
* `frame` Boolean - Specify `false` to create a
|
||
[Frameless Window](frameless-window.md)

|
||
some GTK+3 desktop environments
|
||
* `preload` String - Specifies a script that will be loaded before other
|
||
scripts run in the window. This script will always have access to node APIs
|
||
no matter whether node integration is turned on for the window, and the path
|
||
of `preload` script has to be absolute path.
|
||
* `transparent` Boolean - Makes the window [transparent](frameless-window.md)
|
||
* `type` String - Specifies the type of the window, possible types are
|

`NPAPI` plugins are supported.
|
||
* `extra-plugin-dirs` Array - Array of paths that would be searched for
|
||
plugins. Note that if you want to add a directory under your app, you
|
||
should use `__dirname` or `process.resourcesPath` to join the paths to
|
||
make them absolute, using relative paths would make atom-shell search
|
||
under current working directory.
|
||
* `experimental-features` Boolean
|

* `shared-worker` Boolean
|
||
* `direct-write` Boolean - Whether the DirectWrite font rendering system on
|
||
Windows is enabled
|
||
|
||
Creates a new `BrowserWindow` with native properties set by the `options`.
|
||
Usually you only need to set the `width` and `height`, other properties will
|
||
have decent default values.
|
||
|
||
### Event: 'page-title-updated'
|
||
|
||
* `event` Event
|
||
|
||
Emitted when the document changed its title, calling `event.preventDefault()`
|
||
would prevent the native window's title to change.
|
||
|
||
### Event: 'close'
|
||
|
||
* `event` Event
|
||
|
||
Emitted when the window is going to be closed. It's emitted before the
|
||
`beforeunload` and `unload` event of DOM, calling `event.preventDefault()`
|
||
would cancel the close.
|
||
|
||
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 atom-shell, returning an empty string or `false` would cancel the
|
||
close. An example is:
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {
|
||
console.log('I do not want to be closed');
|
||
|
||
// Unlike usual browsers, in which a string should be returned and the user is
|
||
// prompted to confirm the page unload. atom-shell gives the power completely
|
||
// to the developers, return empty string or false would prevent the unloading
|
||
// now. You can also use the dialog API to let user confirm it.
|
||
return false;
|
||
};
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Event: 'closed'
|
||
|
||
Emitted when the window is closed. After you have received this event you should
|
||
remove the reference to the window and avoid using it anymore.
|
||
|
||
### Event: 'unresponsive'
|
||
|
||
Emitted when the web page becomes unresponsive.
|
||
|
||
### Event: 'responsive'
|
||
|
||
Emitted when the unresponsive web page becomes responsive again.
|
||
|
||
### Event: 'blur'
|
||
|
||
Emitted when window loses focus.
|
||
|
||
### Event: 'focus'
|
||
|
||

### WebContents.send(channel[, args...])
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
Send `args..` to the web page via `channel` in asynchronous message, the web
|
||
page can handle it by listening to the `channel` event of `ipc` module.
|
||
|
||
An example of sending messages from browser side to web pages:
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
// On browser side.
|
||
var window = null;
|
||
app.on('ready', function() {
|
||
window = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600});
|
||
window.loadUrl('file://' + __dirname + '/index.html');
|
||
window.webContents.on('did-finish-load', function() {
|
||
window.webContents.send('ping', 'whoooooooh!');
|
||
});
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
// index.html
|
||
<html>
|
||
<body>
|
||
<script>
|
||
require('ipc').on('ping', function(message) {
|
||
console.log(message); // Prints "whoooooooh!"
|
||
});
|
||
</script>
|
||
</body>
|
||
</html>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Note:**
|
||
|
||
1. The IPC message handler in web pages do not have a `event` parameter, which
|
||
is different from the handlers on browser side.
|
||
2. There is no way to send synchronous messages from browser side to web pages,
|
||
because it would be very easy to cause dead locks.
