asticode / astilectron Goto Github PK

the last window gets updated in the index.js file but the exported instance is a reference to the original value, then when overriding the lastWindow the exported module is not being updated.

Currently astilectron uses tcp socket to bind other languages stack, but the data over this connection are easy to be sniffered and insecure for renderer passing data like password or tokens.

Maybe we can consider when start() with [tcp://]ip:port and use the classic tcp way,
and when start() with something like wss://localhost[:port] , use ws to create a secured connection between clinet and language bindings.

Cheers.

Bundling process stuck at this step - Downloading https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v1.8.1/electron-v1.8.1-darwin-x64.zip into /var/folders/kv/3hryyz4x3c97qdgmzl71s9gh0000gn/T/astibundler/cache/electron-darwin-amd64-1.8.1.zip

Possible reason may be a redirection of this url. The zip can be downloaded from the browser.

is there a way to clear the electron cache (besides rm -rf ~/.config/Electron/cache) ?

is there some type generator? I tried using tygo, but that got it's quirks, like generating

struct bla {
  Nested
}

as bla.Nested.propName but this refers to them as bla.propName

Hi there,

I'm looking into adding some functionality to astilectron and am unfortunately running into barriers due to my unfamiliarity with the codebase. Hoping to get some guidance via this ticket, and will be happy to open up PRs for the enhancements I'm looking to make.

I'm looking to expose electron features like:

• Creating custom context menu's -- https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/menu/
• Retrieving File Icons: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/app#appgetfileiconpath-options
• Dialogs: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/dialog/

I've been experimenting with index.js to try and add the functionality I need but it's slow going. Namely I can't seem to figure out how to send and receive messages between Go and electron. The code that exists for this is so low level that it's hard to follow along with without educating myself on the entirety of the codebase.

Any chance someone could provide some pointers on how I would go above adding more interop between Go and electron? A simple "hello world" example for sending messages to/from electron would be tremendously helpful.

Thank you!

This golang lib does File Dialogs and Notifications cross platform:

https://github.com/ncruces/zenity

Does this help ? Or do you call into the Electron code and get it to do File Dialogues and Notifications. Sorry that i do not understand fully so got to ask.

Can i use hot reload. so when i change HTML / CSS, it will update styling without re run app?

Hi,

I have an app that uses Angular 10 and NgRx, and I am having some difficulties with its state changes.

The problem is that the UI is not updating correctly given the state of the app. For example, if I click on a button to open a modal popup, the modal doesn't show until I click on something else on the UI and force it to update.

I've tested my app on the latest version of Chrome and on the latest version of Electron (9.1.2) and it worked fine. I also upgrade the Electron from Astilectron to version 9.1.2 but the error remained.

Here is an example:

Notice that the modal only appears after I click on the arrows that change the screen.

This is how it looks like in Chrome when it is working:

Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Felipe

Hi astielectron!
I am currently using Astielectron in an asti+react code. I am using electron webview tag inside js part of the application. According to Electron Docs webview tag is not preferred to use because of its instability. I would like to migrate from webview tag to Electron's BrowserView. Unfortunately, to manipulate with BrowserView I need to attach it to Electron BrowserWindow instance. Is it possible to somehow to forward BrowserWindow instance to js API of astilectron?

Hi asticode,
The latest version of the release v0.28.0 doesn't contain the latest changes made on astilectron/main.js file.
Thanks,
Chandrakanth.

I have edited my vendor/astilectron/index.js code to expose the dialog via the astilectron object.

Starting on line 536

  `const {ipcRenderer} = require('electron');
  const {dialog} = require('electron').remote;
  var astilectron = {
    dialog: dialog,
    onMessageOnce: false,
    ...
  };
  ...

This made it so I could extend vue/src/plugins/astor.js and further expose the dialog to the rest of my app.

Is this a good way to get access to the dialog object?

Hi ,I have a question.
How to ensure that Socket is not accessed illegally?

Doc: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/app#appsetasdefaultprotocolclientprotocol-path-args

How could I go about adding support for something like this?

Wow, in general, oauth always requires a redirect_uri(such as the github oauth), but electron usually use a filePath like that:

const w = new BrowserWindow({});
w.loadURL("file://path to project/index.html");         // use file path to .html

if the redirect_uri to set the file path, it will fail. If we want to use oauth in electron, there will be a way: open a new sub window to load the oauth url which the redirect_uri set to http://localhost, and electron listen will-navigate(when you first oauth) and did-get-redirect-request(when you have authorized) to send the newUrl. Like what the electron-oauth2 do.

I found that boths go-astilectron and astilectron do not define this event, I forked the projects and modify it:

astilectron/src/consts.js:

windowEventDidGetRedirectRequest: "window.event.did.get.redirect.request",
windowEventWillNavigate: "window.event.will.navigate",   // will trigger when first use oauth

astilectron/main.js:

function windowCreate(json) {
      ...
     elements[json.targetID].webContents.on('did-get-redirect-request', (event, oldUrl, newUrl) => {
        client.write(json.targetID, consts.eventNames.windowEventDidGetRedirectRequest, {
            url: newUrl
        })
    })
    elements[json.targetID].webContents.on('will-navigate", (event, url) => {
        client.write(json.targetId, consts.eventNames.windowEventWillNavigate, {
            url
        })
    })
}

go-astilectron/window.go:

EventNameWindowEventDidGetRedirectRequest = "window.event.did.get.redirect.request"
EventNameWindowEventWillNavigate                    = "window.event.will.navigate"

I modified it in my forking astilectron project and release a v.0.15.0 version(beacuse go-astilectron use VersionAstilectron and this attr is defined to 0.15.0), and I try this in my project and test it:

var ow, _ = a.NewWindow("http://github.com/login/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=31dbd4e343e060a20bdf&client_secret=c0a20c8b3bd912998779ad639077442e6b8b3ba9&redirect_uri=http://localhost", &astilectron.WindowOptions{
	Center: astilectron.PtrBool(false),
	Height: astilectron.PtrInt(600),
	Width:  astilectron.PtrInt(600),
})

ow.On(astilectron.EventNameWindowEventDidGetRedirectRequest, func(e astilectron.Event) (deleteListener bool) {
	w.SendMessage(e.URL, func(m *astilectron.EventMessage) {
		// Unmarshal
		var s string
		m.Unmarshal(&s)

		// Process message
		astilog.Debugf("received %s", s)
	})
	return
})

ow.On(astilectron.EventNameWindowEventWillNavigate, func(e astilectron.Event) (deleteListener bool) {
	w.SendMessage(e.URL, func(m *astilectron.EventMessage) {
		// Unmarshal
		var s string
		m.Unmarshal(&s)

		// Process message
		astilog.Debugf("received %s", s)
	})
	return
})

this gif is what I tested result:

this can use to other aspects that load url, I'm no sure what your opinion about this, so I open an issue to discuss it, if you think it is feasible, I will make some PR.

The default Electron/Astilectron installation path is located inside:

C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\%AppName%\vendor

However, the Electron Cache is located inside:

C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Electron

The Electron Cache should be located inside:

C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\%AppName%

This issue causes conflicts with other Electron applications that use the same cache path by default.
Reproduction can be caused using go-asilectron with the default parameters and a valid AppName.

Hi asticode,
I am trying to use astilectron and build an electron application. How to set the version of the application? How to make sure this version is available in windows.syso created in the application folder. Also, is there any way we can do auto-update of the application in Windows and Mac?

Dear bro,
I using astilectron with vue.
when "run serve" or "run build", the first time inform not define,
but I run the command twice, it successed, nothing changed.
the log is following.

Is this accessable from golang to tell Electon to Print and PrintToPDF ?

Inspecting the history it appears that it got set at "0.33.0" for v0.33.0, but has not been updated since.

I'd like to suggest that either this be kept up to date, or it be removed and an alternative method of finding the version for an install be provided. Thanks!

I need a programmatically interruption here to prevent site navigation on a page that generates a token. Would it be possible to have the a callback function?
