main.js
const {app, BrowserWindow, ipcMain} = require('electron') const path = require('path')
function createWindow () { const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
width: 800,
height: 600,
frame: false, })
mainWindow.loadFile('index.html') }
app.whenReady().then(() => { createWindow()
app.on('activate', function () {
if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) createWindow() }) })
renderer.js
// close app
function closeApp(e) {
e.preventDefault();
app.quit();
}
document.getElementById("closeBtn").addEventListener("click", closeApp);
What I want is to click on the button with the id "closeBtn" to close the app, I was looking for it, but I just can't make it working. Can anyone please help?
Try using ipcRenderer to send the close command to main.js
In your main.js:
ipcMain.on('close', () => {
app.quit()
})
Then, in your renderer.js:
const ipc = require('electron').ipcRenderer
// close app
function closeApp(e) {
e.preventDefault()
ipc.send('close')
}
document.getElementById("closeBtn").addEventListener("click", closeApp);
