## Class: Dock
> Control your app in the macOS dock
Process: [Main](../glossary.md#main-process)<br />
_This class is not exported from the `'electron'` module. It is only available as a return value of other methods in the Electron API._
The following example shows how to bounce your icon on the dock.
```javascript
const { app } = require('electron')
app.dock.bounce()
```
### Instance Methods
#### `dock.bounce([type])` _macOS_
* `type` string (optional) - Can be `critical` or `informational`. The default is
`informational`
Returns `Integer` - an ID representing the request.
When `critical` is passed, the dock icon will bounce until either the
application becomes active or the request is canceled.
When `informational` is passed, the dock icon will bounce for one second.
However, the request remains active until either the application becomes active
or the request is canceled.
**Note:** This method can only be used while the app is not focused; when the app is focused it will return -1.
#### `dock.cancelBounce(id)` _macOS_
* `id` Integer
Cancel the bounce of `id`.
#### `dock.downloadFinished(filePath)` _macOS_
* `filePath` string
Bounces the Downloads stack if the filePath is inside the Downloads folder.
#### `dock.setBadge(text)` _macOS_
* `text` string
Sets the string to be displayed in the docks badging area.
#### `dock.getBadge()` _macOS_
Returns `string` - The badge string of the dock.
#### `dock.hide()` _macOS_
Hides the dock icon.
#### `dock.show()` _macOS_
Returns `Promise<void>` - Resolves when the dock icon is shown.
#### `dock.isVisible()` _macOS_
Returns `boolean` - Whether the dock icon is visible.
#### `dock.setMenu(menu)` _macOS_
* `menu` [Menu](menu.md)
Sets the application's [dock menu][dock-menu].
#### `dock.getMenu()` _macOS_
Returns `Menu | null` - The application's [dock menu][dock-menu].
#### `dock.setIcon(image)` _macOS_
