Managing App Lifecycle Events

Handle various application lifecycle events such as `ready`, `window-all-closed`, `activate`, and `quit` to ensure proper application behavior.

App's Journey: Lifecycle Events

Just like people, software applications have a lifecycle! They start, run, and eventually close. In Electron, these stages are managed through "lifecycle events".

  • These events let your app react to important moments, like when it's ready to show a window or when all its windows are closed.
  • Properly handling them ensures your app behaves predictably and professionally on different operating systems.

Meet the `app` Module

Electron provides a special module called app. This module is the heart of your application's lifecycle management.

  • You use the app module to control your application's events.
  • It allows you to listen for events like when the app is ready, when windows close, or when the app is about to quit.
  • It also provides methods to manage the app, such as quitting or restarting.
