When using Electron JS, the ready-to-show event may not be firing as expected when the BrowserWindow object is loaded. This could be due to a few reasons, such as having the show option set to true or not listening for the event on the correct window object.
To fix this, try the following:
1.When creating the BrowserWindow object, ensure that the show option is set to false . This will prevent the window from being visible until the ready-to-sho w event is fired. Here is an example:
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
app.whenReady().then(() => {
const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
width: 800,
height: 600,
show: false // set show to false
})
mainWindow.loadFile('index.html')
mainWindow.once('ready-to-show', () => {
mainWindow.show()
})
})
2.Verify that you are listening for the ready-to-show event on the correct BrowserWindow object. If you have multiple windows, ensure that you attach the event listener to the correct window object. Here is an example:
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
app.whenReady().then(() => {
const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
width: 800,
height: 600,
show: false
})
mainWindow.loadFile('index.html')
mainWindow.once('ready-to-show', () => {
console.log('Ready to show!')
})
})
3.Check that you have the latest version of Electron JS. Older versions may have bugs or issues that have been fixed in newer releases.
4.Consider using the did-finish-load event instead of ready-to-show. This event fires when the window has finished loading its contents, and may work better in some cases. Here is an example:
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
app.whenReady().then(() => {
const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
width: 800,
height: 600,
show: false
})
mainWindow.loadFile('index.html')
mainWindow.webContents.on('did-finish-load', () => {
mainWindow.show()
})
})
By implementing these solutions, you should be able to resolve any issues you are experiencing with the ready-to-show event in your Electron JS application.
