electron/services/window/WindowService

Window management service for Electron application windows.

Remarks​

Handles the creation, configuration, and lifecycle management of Electron browser windows. Provides a centralized service for window operations including content loading, event handling, and communication with renderers.

Key responsibilities:

  • Create and configure the main application window
  • Load appropriate content based on environment (dev/prod)
  • Handle window lifecycle events (ready-to-show, closed, etc.)
  • Manage window state and provide access methods
  • Facilitate communication between main and renderer processes

The service automatically handles environment-specific loading:

  • Development: Loads from Vite dev server with DevTools
  • Production: Loads from built static files

Example​

const windowService = new WindowService();
const mainWindow = windowService.createMainWindow();

// Send data to renderer
windowService.sendToRenderer("status-update", { status: "up" });

// Check if window exists
if (windowService.hasMainWindow()) {
    // Window operations...
}
