【如何在Electron Framework中将信息从一个窗口发送到另一个窗口】许多桌面应用程序提供操纵和自定义功能。这些功能通常(并非总是)位于与原始应用程序不同的窗口中, 因此在使用Electron时, 你将需要学习如何将信息从一个窗口共享到另一个窗口。
在本文中, 我们将向你展示如何使用Electron的IPCMain和IPCRenderer模块来完成此简单任务。
注意该过程可以双向进行, 因此你可以按照以下步骤将信息从第一个窗口发送到第二个窗口, 反之亦然。
1.配置2个Windows(可选) 如果主进程中已经有2个Windows实例, 则跳过此步骤。在我们的示例中, 我们将有2个带有变量mainWindow和secondWindow的窗口。这些窗口是在主进程中创建的(来自main.js), 它们将同时显示, 因此你可以根据需要更改其行为。重要的是你有2个Windows, 并且可以通过变量访问它们：

// Keep a global reference of the windows object, if you don't, the window will// be closed automatically when the JavaScript object is garbage collected.let mainWindow; let secondWindow; function createWindow() {// Create the browser window.mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 }); secondWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 }); // and load the index.html of the app.mainWindow.loadURL(url.format({pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'index.html'), protocol: 'file:', slashes: true}))// and load the second window.secondWindow.loadURL(url.format({pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'otherfile.html'), protocol: 'file:', slashes: true}))// Emitted when the window is closed.mainWindow.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.mainWindow = null; secondWindow = null; })}

这两个窗口都加载2个不同的HTML文件。
2.在主进程中添加侦听器以在Windows之间共享数据现在, 你已经拥有两个将相互通信的窗口, 你可以在主流程中创建端点, 作为它们之间的桥梁。使用Electron的ipcMain模块, 可以在有权访问2个窗口的主窗口(后台进程)中添加” 事件侦听器” , 然后可以使用ipcRenderer从第一个窗口的视图触发此事件。
以下代码添加了一个事件侦听器(在main.js中), 该事件侦听器将在第一个窗口的视图中触发” request-update-label-in-second-window” (日期名称)事件时执行。在回调内部, 就像在可访问2个窗口的main.js文件中一样, 你可以访问要在其中发送信息的窗口的webContents属性。 webContents是一个EventEmitter。它负责呈现和控制网页, 并且是BrowserWindow对象的属性。使用send方法, 可以在第二个窗口的渲染器过程中触发一个事件(即action-update-label)：

const { ipcMain } = require('electron'); // Attach event listener to event that requests to update something in the second window// from the first windowipcMain.on('request-update-label-in-second-window', (event, arg) => {// Request to update the label in the renderer process of the second window// We'll send the same data that was sent to the main process// Note: you can obviously send the secondWindow.webContents.send('action-update-label', arg); });

现在, 我们在后台建立了桥梁。接下来, 你需要在第二个窗口中构建桥的入口点。
3.在第二个窗口的视图中添加侦听器以接收数据逻辑的其余部分非常明显, 因为你从主流程中触发了事件action-update-label, 所以当触发此事件时, 你需要在第二个窗口中执行某些操作。在第二个窗口的渲染器进程(otherfile.html)中, 使用以下代码继续使用ipcRenderer模块添加事件侦听器：

// Require ipcRendererconst { ipcRenderer } = require('electron'); // When the action-update-label event is triggered (from the main process)// Do something in the viewipcRenderer.on('action-update-label', (event, arg) => {// Update the second interface or whatever you need to do// for example show an alert ...alert("Hello, you did something in the first window !"); // arg contains the data sent from the first viewconsole.log(arg); });

现在, 当从主流程中的第一个窗口触发事件” 第二窗口中的请求更新标签” 时, 主流程将触发动作更新标签事件, 该事件将执行你需要的操作。
4.触发分享事件最后一步, 你只需要在第一个窗口(在渲染器进程中)触发” request-update-label-in-second-window” ：

const { ipcRenderer } = require('electron'); // Some data that will be sent to the main process// Feel free to modify the object as you wish !let Data = http://www.srcmini.com/{message:"Hello World !"}; // Trigger the event listener action to this event in the renderer process and send the dataipcRenderer.send('request-update-label-in-second-window', Data);

这将遵循上述逻辑, 将带有属性消息的Data对象发送到第二个视图中的渲染器进程。
例子以下基于3个文件的示例说明了一个简单应用程序中提到的步骤：
main.js

const electron = require('electron'); const path = require('path'); const { ipcMain } = require('electron'); // Module to control application life.const app = electron.app; // Module to create native browser window.const BrowserWindow = electron.BrowserWindowconst url = require('url')// Keep a global reference of the windows object, if you don't, the window will// be closed automatically when the JavaScript object is garbage collected.let mainWindow; let secondWindow; function createWindow() {// Create the browser window.mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 }); secondWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 }); // and load the index.html of the app.mainWindow.loadURL(url.format({pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'index.html'), protocol: 'file:', slashes: true}))// and load the second window.secondWindow.loadURL(url.format({pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'otherfile.html'), protocol: 'file:', slashes: true}))// Attach event listener to event that requests to update something in the second window// from the first windowipcMain.on('request-update-label-in-second-window', (event, arg) => {// Request to update the label in the renderer process of the second windowsecondWindow.webContents.send('action-update-label', arg); }); // Emitted when the window is closed.mainWindow.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.mainWindow = null; secondWindow = null; })}// 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', createWindow)// Quit when all windows are closed.app.on('window-all-closed', function () {// On OS X it is common for applications and their menu bar// to stay active until the user quits explicitly with Cmd + Qif (process.platform !== 'darwin') {app.quit()}})app.on('activate', function () {// On OS X 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 (mainWindow === null) {createWindow()}})

在Electron中执行前面的代码, 将显示2个窗口。在第一个窗口中, 你会找到一个简单的文本输入和一个按钮, 单击该按钮后, 它将向你发送具有CSS样式(背景色为黑色和文本色为白色)的对象, 并将输入的文本发送到第二个窗口。在第二个窗口中, 将处理该对象并将其显示在视图中：
