# 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
[EventEmitter](http://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_events_eventemitter).
### new BrowserWindow(options)
* `options` Object
* `x` Integer - Window's left offset to screen
* `y` Integer - Window's top offset to screen
* `center` Boolean - Show window in the center of the screen
* `min-width` Integer - Minimum width
* `min-height` Integer - Minimum height
* `max-width` Integer - Maximum width
* `max-height` Integer - Maximum height
* `resizable` Boolean - Whether window is resizable
* `always-on-top` Boolean - Whether the window should always stay on top of other windows
* `fullscreen` Boolean - Whether the window should show in fullscreen
* `kiosk` Boolean - The kiosk mode
* `title` String - Default window title
* `show` Boolean - Whether window should be shown when created
* `frame` Boolean - Specify `false` to create a
[Frameless Window](frameless-window.md)
* `node-integration` String - Can be `all`, `except-iframe`,
`manual-enable-iframe` or `disable`.
* `accept-first-mouse` Boolean - Whether the web view accepts a single
mouse-down event that simultaneously activates the window
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.
By default the `node-integration` option is `except-iframe`, which means node
integration is disabled in all iframes, . You can also set it to `all`, with
which node integration is available to the main page and all its iframes, or
`manual-enable-iframe`, which is like `except-iframe`, but would enable iframes
whose name is suffixed by `-enable-node-integration`. And setting to `disable`
would disable the node integration in both the main page and its iframes.
An example of enable node integration in iframe with `node-integration` set to
`manual-enable-iframe`:
```html
<!-- iframe with node integration enabled -->
<iframe name="gh-enable-node-integration" src="https://github.com"></iframe>
<!-- iframe with node integration disabled -->
<iframe src="http://jandan.net"></iframe>
```
And in atom-shell, the security limitaion of iframe is stricter than normal
browser, by default iframe is sandboxed with all permissions except the
`allow-same-origin`, which means iframe could not access parent's js context.
If you want to enable things like `parent.window.process.exit()` in iframe,
you should explictly set `sandbox` to `none`:
```html
<iframe sandbox="none" src="https://github.com"></iframe>
```
### 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'
Emiited when the web page becomes unresponsive.
### Event: 'responsive'
Emitted when the unresponsive web page becomes responsive again.
### Event: 'blur'
Emiited when window loses focus.
### Class Method: BrowserWindow.getAllWindows()
Returns an array of all opened browser windows.
### Class Method: BrowserWindow.getFocusedWindow()
Returns the window that is focused in this application.
### Class Method: BrowserWindow.fromWebContents(webContents)
* `webContents` WebContents

### BrowserWindow.webContents
The `WebContents` object this window owns, all web page related events and
operations would be done via it.
### BrowserWindow.devToolsWebContents

### BrowserWindow.destroy()
Force closing the window, the `unload` and `beforeunload` event won't be emitted
for the web page, and `close` event would also not be emitted for this window,
but it would gurrantee the `closed` event to be emitted.
You should only use this method when the web page has crashed.
### BrowserWindow.close()

the close button of the window. The web page may cancel the close though, see
the [close event](window#event-close).
