choo-location-electron
A choo subscription that fixes routing in electron when loading a url from disk.
WARNING: Doesn't work with choo 4 right now
See:
- https://github.com/hypermodules/hyperamp/issues/68
- https://github.com/yoshuawuyts/sheet-router/issues/72
Why?
When creating an electron browser window and loading the view from disk, choo's router doesn't work out of the box due to the format of the resulting file:// url. choo-location-electron provides a subscription that properly processes urls in href attributes of a tags so that they work with sheet-router properly.
Example
const choo = require('choo')
const location = require('choo-location-electron')({ openExternal: true })
const app = choo()
app.model(location)
// rest of your app
const tree = app.start({ href: false }) //REQUIRED SETTINGS
document.body.appendChild(tree)
Note: Setting href: false is required in order to properly intercept click events on links.
API
var location = require('choo-location-electron')([opts])
Return a choo subscription that properly handles internal and optionally external links in electron.
Default options:
{
openExternal: false
}
openExternal(Optional Boolean): intercept URLs and open them in a web browser usingrequire('electron').shell.openExternal(see electron.atom.io/docs/api/shell/#shellopenexternalurl-options).
