# process
|
|
|
|
> Get information about the running application process.
|
|
|
|
The `process` object in Electron has the following differences from the one in
|
|
upstream node:
|
|
|
|
* `process.type` String - Process's type, can be `browser` (i.e. main process)
|
|
or `renderer`.
|
|
* `process.versions.electron` String - Version of Electron.
|
|
* `process.versions.chrome` String - Version of Chromium.
|
|
* `process.resourcesPath` String - Path to JavaScript source code.
|
|
* `process.mas` Boolean - For Mac App Store build, this value is `true`, for
|
|
other builds it is `undefined`.
|
|
* `process.windowsStore` Boolean - If the app is running as a Windows Store app
|
|
(appx), this value is `true`, for other builds it is `undefined`.
|
|
* `process.defaultApp` Boolean - When app is started by being passed as parameter
|
|
to the default app, this value is `true` in the main process, otherwise it is
|
|
`undefined`.
|
|
|
|
## Events
|
|
|
|
### Event: 'loaded'
|
|
|
|
Emitted when Electron has loaded its internal initialization script and is
|
|
beginning to load the web page or the main script.
|
|
|
|
It can be used by the preload script to add removed Node global symbols back to
|
|
the global scope when node integration is turned off:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
// preload.js
|
|
const _setImmediate = setImmediate;
|
|
const _clearImmediate = clearImmediate;
|
|
process.once('loaded', () => {
|
|
global.setImmediate = _setImmediate;
|
|
global.clearImmediate = _clearImmediate;
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Properties
|
|
|
|
### `process.noAsar`
|
|
|
|
Setting this to `true` can disable the support for `asar` archives in Node's
|
|
built-in modules.
|
|
|
|
## Methods
|
|
|
|
The `process` object has the following method:
|
|
|
|
### `process.crash()`
|
|
|
|
Causes the main thread of the current process crash.
|
|
|
|
### `process.hang()`
|
|
|
|
Causes the main thread of the current process hang.
|
|
|
|
### `process.setFdLimit(maxDescriptors)` _OS X_ _Linux_
|
|
|
|
* `maxDescriptors` Integer
|
|
|
|
Sets the file descriptor soft limit to `maxDescriptors` or the OS hard
|
|
limit, whichever is lower for the current process.
