基于Electron+vue的跨平台实践初探

electron 是什么?

electron是一个构建跨平台桌面应用的框架，开发者可以基于nodejs以及框架提供的调用系统组件的能力让html应用构建为桌面应用

基于vue-cli 打造一个electron项目

1. 环境准备：建议提前准备 科学上网工具 / fastgithub 等

2. 创建vue项目 vue create electron-vue

3. 安装electron-builder工具 vue add electron-builder 注意此处为 vue add

4. 如果没有科学上网工具，大概率会出现卡住不动的情况，耐心等待或者结束掉多试几次。

5. 安装成功后会让你选择electron 的版本，选lts版，lts版自行去官网查询

6. 如果自动安装没能成功，需要手动自行安装，先打开package.json,手动添加script、执行入口、开发依赖、

...
  "scripts": {
    "serve": "vue-cli-service serve",
    "build": "vue-cli-service build",
    "lint": "vue-cli-service lint",
+   "electron:build": "vue-cli-service electron:build",
+   "electron:serve": "vue-cli-service electron:serve",
+   "postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps",
+   "postuninstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps"
  },
+ "main": "background.js",
...
  "devDependencies": {
+   "electron": "^13.0.0",
+   "vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder": "^2.1.1",
  },
  ...

7. 是手动安装，此时还缺少一个自动生成的background.js 在src目录下添加background.js

'use strict'

import { app, protocol, BrowserWindow, screen, Menu, globalShortcut } from 'electron'
import { createProtocol } from 'vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder/lib'
// import installExtension, { VUEJS_DEVTOOLS } from 'electron-devtools-installer'
const isDevelopment = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'

// Scheme must be registered before the app is ready
protocol.registerSchemesAsPrivileged([
  { scheme: 'app', privileges: { secure: true, standard: true } }
])

async function createWindow () {
  // Create the browser window.
  Menu.setApplicationMenu(null) // 无菜单
  const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: screen.getPrimaryDisplay().workAreaSize.width,
    height: screen.getPrimaryDisplay().workAreaSize.height,
    transparent: true, // 隐藏系统菜单栏
    useContentSize: true,
    resizable: false, // 禁止改变大小
    // show: false,
    // paintWhenInitiallyHidden: true,
    frame: false, // 无边框窗口
    webPreferences: {

      // Use pluginOptions.nodeIntegration, leave this alone
      // See nklayman.github.io/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder/guide/security.html#node-integration for more info
      nodeIntegration: process.env.ELECTRON_NODE_INTEGRATION,
      contextIsolation: !process.env.ELECTRON_NODE_INTEGRATION
    }
  })

  if (process.env.WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_URL) {
    // Load the url of the dev server if in development mode
    await mainWindow.loadURL(process.env.WEBPACK_DEV_SERVER_URL)
    if (!process.env.IS_TEST) mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools()
  } else {
    createProtocol('app')
    // Load the index.html when not in development
    mainWindow.loadURL('app://./index.html')
  }
  // 设置全屏
  mainWindow.setFullScreen(true)
  // mainWindow.once('ready-to-show', () => {
  //   mainWindow.show()
  // })
  globalShortcut.register('CmdOrCtrl+Shift+O', () => {
    if (mainWindow.webContents.isDevToolsOpened()) {
      mainWindow.webContents.closeDevTools()
    } else {
      mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools({ mode: 'right' })
    }
  })
}

// Quit when all windows are closed.
app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
  // On macOS it is common for applications and their menu bar
  // to stay active until the user quits explicitly with Cmd + Q
  if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
    app.quit()
  }
})

app.on('activate', () => {
  // On macOS it's common to re-create a window in the app when the
  // dock icon is clicked and there are no other windows open.
  if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) createWindow()
})

// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
// Some APIs can only be used after this event occurs.
app.on('ready', async () => {
  if (isDevelopment && !process.env.IS_TEST) {
    // Install Vue Devtools
    // try {
    //   await installExtension(VUEJS_DEVTOOLS)
    // } catch (e) {
    //   console.error('Vue Devtools failed to install:', e.toString())
    // }
  }
  createWindow()
})

// Exit cleanly on request from parent process in development mode.
if (isDevelopment) {
  if (process.platform === 'win32') {
    process.on('message', (data) => {
      if (data === 'graceful-exit') {
        app.quit()
      }
    })
  } else {
    process.on('SIGTERM', () => {
      app.quit()
    })
  }
}

8. yarn 安装依赖

9. 安装完成后，通过yarn electron:serve 项目就可以运行了

主进程与渲染进程通信需要注意的细节

在低版本的electron上，主进程与渲染进程通信是通过在项目中引入rpcrender模块进行通信的，在高版本上，则需要通过挂载preload插件方式提前注册号相关事件，并在渲染进程通过window上的属性进行调用
文档如下： https://www.electronjs.org/zh/docs/latest/tutorial/ipc
