Manipulate the command line arguments for your app that Chromium reads
Process: Main
This class is not exported from the 'electron' module. It is only available as a return value of other methods in the Electron API.
The following example shows how to check if the --disable-gpu flag is set.
const { app } = require('electron')
app.commandLine.hasSwitch('disable-gpu')
For more information on what kinds of flags and switches you can use, check out the Command Line Switches document.
commandLine.appendSwitch(switch[, value])switch string - A command-line switch, without the leading --value string (optional) - A value for the given switchAppend a switch (with optional value) to Chromium’s command line.
Note: This will not affect process.argv. The intended usage of this function is to
control Chromium’s behavior.
commandLine.appendArgument(value)value string - The argument to append to the command lineAppend an argument to Chromium’s command line. The argument will be quoted correctly. Switches will precede arguments regardless of appending order.
If you’re appending an argument like --switch=value, consider using appendSwitch('switch', 'value') instead.
Note: This will not affect process.argv. The intended usage of this function is to
control Chromium’s behavior.
commandLine.hasSwitch(switch)switch string - A command-line switchReturns boolean - Whether the command-line switch is present.
commandLine.getSwitchValue(switch)switch string - A command-line switchReturns string - The command-line switch value.
Note: When the switch is not present or has no value, it returns empty string.
commandLine.removeSwitch(switch)switch string - A command-line switchRemoves the specified switch from Chromium’s command line.
Note: This will not affect process.argv. The intended usage of this function is to
control Chromium’s behavior.
