I am trying to make an app that edits .txt files. I want to get the path of the text file when it is opened with the application (i.e. the user chooses to open the .txt with my app). I have included the following in the build of my package.json:
"fileAssociations": [
{
"name": "Text Files",
"description": "Plain Text File",
"ext": [
"txt"
]
}
],
This makes the application open with the file however how do I get the path of the file that was used to open the app. I know I have to do something with a process.argv however I have no idea how to use this. I have tried the below with no success:
ipcMain.on('get-file-data', function(event) {
var data = null;
if (process.platform == 'win32' && process.argv.length >= 2) {
var openFilePath = process.argv[1];
console.log(data)
win.webContents.send('openFile', openFilePath)
}
});
How can I get the path of the file?
