This BrightScript object launches an Electron instance from a BrightScript runtime. 

All BrightSign Javascript objects are available to use with Electron, and BrightSign mechanisms allow communication between Javascript (Electron main processes) and BrightScript (BrightSign processes).

Note

roElectron objects can only be created on BrightSignOS 8.3.* NX releases - standard releases do not include the Electron runtime.

Object Creation

roElectron takes two parameters: a filename and an options parameter.

aa = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")
aa.message_port = my_message_port
aa.arguments = CreateObject("roArray")
aa.arguments[0] = "arg1"
aa.arguments[1] = "arg2"
aa.node_arguments = CreateObject("roArray")
aa.node_arguments = {"node_arg1", "node_arg2")
aa.env_vars = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")
aa.env_vars.AddReplace("ENV_VAR_1", "test")
aa.env_vars.AddReplace("ENV_VAR_2", "true")
node = CreateObject("roElectron", "path/to/my/application", aa)
  • message_port: Optional. A message port to bridge the Electron and BrightScript applications.
  • arguments: Optional. An roArray of arguments for Electron
  • node_arguments: Optional. An roArray of arguments for the Electron application itself to consume.
  • env_vars: Optional. An roAssociativeArray of environment variables for Electron application.

BrightScript associative arrays are case insensitive when object-literal syntax (for example, aa={bright:"Sign"}) is used. Environment variables are generally considered as case sensitive. Use the AddReplace method with an associative array, or call SetModeCaseSensitive() before assigning object-literal syntax variables into an env_vars associative array.
