<h1>Use system dialogs</h1>
<h3>
The <code>dialog</code> module in Electron allows you to use native
system dialogs for opening files or directories, saving a file or
displaying informational messages.
</h3>
<p>
This is a main process module because this process is more efficient
with native utilities and it allows the call to happen without
interrupting the visible elements in your page's renderer process.

<p>
In this demo, the <code>ipc</code> module is used to send a message
from the renderer process instructing the main process to launch the
error dialog.
</p>
<p>
You can use an error dialog before the app's
<code>ready</code> event, which is useful for showing errors upon
startup.
</p>
<h5>Renderer Process</h5>
<pre>
<code>
const {ipcRenderer} = require('electron')
const errorBtn = document.getElementById('error-dialog')
errorBtn.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
ipcRenderer.send('open-error-dialog')
})
</code></pre>
<h5>Main Process</h5>
<pre>
<code>
const {ipcMain, dialog} = require('electron')
ipcMain.on('open-error-dialog', (event) => {
dialog.showErrorBox('An Error Message', 'Demonstrating an error message.')
})
</code>
</pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
// You can also require other files to run in this process
require("./renderer.js");
