Electron各版本API变更及版本升级报错汇总

版本升级注意项

每个版本都有废弃和移除的API，废弃的依旧可以用，所以这里只列一些常用的被移除的API及对应的替换方法。

各版本移除的API

官方文档：https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/breaking-changes/#removed-remote-module

14.0

remote模块

移除remote模块前最新的Electron版本

1
"electron": "13.4.0"

The remote module was deprecated in Electron 12, and will be removed in Electron 14. It is replaced by the @electron/remote module.

1
2
// Deprecated in Electron 12:
const { app, dialog } = window.require('electron').remote

替换方式

安装依赖

1
npm install --save @electron/remote

主进程

1
2
3
4
// In the main process:
require("@electron/remote/main").initialize();
//创建每一个窗口后，都要调用
require("@electron/remote/main").enable(win.webContents);

渲染进程

1
2
// Replace with:
const { app, dialog } = window.require("@electron/remote");

打包找不到依赖的解决方法

https://nklayman.github.io/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder/guide/guide.html#table-of-contents

项目根目录vue.config.js中修改配置，没有该文件创建即可。

// vue.config.js
module.exports = {
  pluginOptions: {
    electronBuilder: {
      externals: ['@electron/remote'],
      nodeModulesPath: ['./node_modules']
    }
  }
}

官方推荐方式

remote模块官方不推荐使用，如果项目使用remote的地方较少，可以更换为下面的方式替换。

// Renderer process
ipcRenderer.invoke('some-name', someArgument).then((result) => {
    // ...
})

// Main process
ipcMain.handle('some-name', async (event, someArgument) => {
    const result = await doSomeWork(someArgument)
    return result
})

示例

假如弹窗选择路径的功能

原来在渲染进程中是这样的

        properties: ["openDirectory"]
    })
        .then(result => {
        if (!result.canceled) {
            this.outpath = result.filePaths[0];
        }
    })
        .catch(() => {});
}

        }
    });
},
    
//主进程

ipcMain.handle("select_dir", async () => {
