Electron dialog tutorials | Christian Engvall

In this Electron dialog tutorial we’ll take a look at using the different dialogs electron provides. With the dialog we can display native system dialogs for opening and saving files, alerting, etc.

Each dialog has its own post to make them easier to read.

Using showOpenDialog

With the showOpenDialog you can let the user select one or more files or folders. The selected paths are returned as an array of strings.
