How to use electron-positioner
To use the electron-positioner
library in Electron, you can follow these steps:
Install the
electron-positioner
package via npm:shellnpm install electron-positioner
Import the
electron-positioner
module in your Electron application:javascriptconst positioner = require('electron-positioner');
Create a new
positioner
instance for your Electron BrowserWindow:javascriptconst position = positioner(window);
Position the window using the
position.calculate()
method. You can specify the target position, such as 'trayBottomCenter' or 'trayCenter', based on your requirements:javascriptconst trayBounds = tray.getBounds();
const windowBounds = window.getBounds();
const positionOptions = {
x: trayBounds.x + trayBounds.width / 2 - windowBounds.width / 2,
y: trayBounds.y + trayBounds.height + 10,
};
position.calculate(positionOptions);
Adjust the
positionOptions
object based on your desired window position relative to a tray or any other element.Finally, use the calculated position to set the window position:
javascriptwindow.setPosition(positionOptions.x, positionOptions.y);
The electron-positioner
library simplifies the process of positioning Electron windows relative to other elements, such as tray icons or screen coordinates. It provides a convenient API to calculate and set the window position.
Note that you'll need to adapt the code snippets to fit into your Electron application's overall structure and use the appropriate variables and objects for your use case.
