## 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.
