How to close electron app via javascript?

Question

I am running an express app via electron.

Below is the main.js

   const electron = require(\"electron\"),
          app = electron.app,
          Bro         


        

Answer 1

You can also use app.exit:

app.exit(0)

This seems to bypass any event listeners and force the whole app to exit immediately. (Be sure that is what you want though!)

Answer 2

you can use

const remote = require('electron').remote
let w = remote.getCurrentWindow()
w.close()

to close your app.

if you are using jQuery

const remote = require('electron').remote
$('#close-btn').on('click', e => {
    remote.getCurrentWindow().close()
})

if you are using Vue.js

<template>
    <button @click="close"><i class="fa fa-cube" aria-hidden="true"></i>&nbsp; Close application</button>
</template>

<script>
    const remote = require('electron').remote

    export default{
        data(){
            return {
                w: remote.getCurrentWindow(),
            }
        },
        methods: {
            close() {
                this.w.close()
            }
        }
    }
</script>

Answer 3

I use the line below to close the app.

window.close()

Answer 4

in main.js

function createWindow(){
win =new BrowserWindow({
    icon:'./img/code_file.ico',
    frame:false
});
win.maximize();

win.loadURL(url.format({
    pathname:path.join(__dirname,'./login.html'),
    protocol:'file:',
    slashes:true
}));
  // Emitted when the window is closed.
  win.on('closed', function () {
    // Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
    // in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
    // when you should delete the corresponding element.
    win = null
  });
}
app.on('ready',createWindow);
app.on('Window-all-closed',()=>{
if(process.platfrom!=='drawin'){
app.quit();
}
});
}

when all window is closed app.quit() function closed the application;
