* feat: Allow detection of MITM HTTPS proxies like ZScaler For security purposes, Figma heavily restrics the origins that are allowed to load within our Electron app. Unfortunately some corporate environments use MITM proxies like ZScaler, which intercepts our connection to `https://www.figma.com` and serves a redirect to e.g. `https://gateway.zscloud.net` before finally redirecting back to `https://www.figma.com`. In order to detect this situation and handle it gracefully, we need to be able to know whether or not the certificate for our own origin (`https://www.figma.com`) is chained to a known root. We do this by exposesing `CertVerifyResult::is_issued_by_known_root`. If the certification verification passed without the certificate being tied to a known root, we can safely assume that we are dealing with a MITM proxy that has its root CA installed locally on the machine. This means that HTTPS can't be trusted so we might as well make life easier for corporate users by loosening our origin restrictions without any manual steps. * Tweak docs wording |

The Electron framework lets you write cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. It is based on Node.js and Chromium and is used by the Atom editor and many other apps.
Follow @ElectronJS on Twitter for important announcements.
This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to coc@electronjs.org.
Installation
To install prebuilt Electron binaries, use npm.
The preferred method is to install Electron as a development dependency in your
app:
npm install electron --save-dev
For more installation options and troubleshooting tips, see installation. For info on how to manage Electron versions in your apps, see Electron versioning.
Quick start & Electron Fiddle
Use Electron Fiddle
to build, run, and package small Electron experiments, to see code examples for all of Electron's APIs, and
to try out different versions of Electron. It's designed to make the start of your journey with
Electron easier.
Alternatively, clone and run the electron/electron-quick-start repository to see a minimal Electron app in action:
git clone https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start
cd electron-quick-start
npm install
npm start
Resources for learning Electron
- electronjs.org/docs - All of Electron's documentation
- electron/fiddle - A tool to build, run, and package small Electron experiments
- electron/electron-quick-start - A very basic starter Electron app
- electronjs.org/community#boilerplates - Sample starter apps created by the community

Programmatic usage
Most people use Electron from the command line, but if you require electron inside
your Node app (not your Electron app) it will return the file path to the
binary. Use this to spawn Electron from Node scripts:
const electron = require('electron')
const proc = require('child_process')
// will print something similar to /Users/maf/.../Electron
console.log(electron)
// spawn Electron
const child = proc.spawn(electron)
