Introduction

Get the main window of an Electron Application.

Finding the main window of an electron app can be tricky, this npm package solves this issue. Follow further instructions to implement the same inside your app.

Initially, I'd created electron-main-window package for OpenMTP - Advanced Android File Transfer Application for macOS. It works fine with Electron React Redux Advanced Boilerplate and electron-react-boilerplate

Installation

$ npm install electron-main-window

or 

$ yarn add electron-main-window

Usage

// Import ES6 way
import { getMainWindow } from 'electron-main-window';
const mainWindow = getMainWindow();

// Import ES2015 way
const mainWindow = require('electron-main-window').getMainWindow();

// e.g:
if(mainWindow !== null ){
  mainWindow.webContents.send('mainWindowCommunication', "This is a test message");
}

Building from Source
