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.
Instance MethodsâcommandLine.appendSwitch(switch[, value])
â
switch
string - A command-line switch, without the leading --
.value
string (optional) - A value for the given switch.Append 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.
const { app } = require('electron')
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('remote-debugging-port', '8315')
commandLine.appendArgument(value)
â
value
string - The argument to append to the command line.Append 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.
const { app } = require('electron')
app.commandLine.appendArgument('--enable-experimental-web-platform-features')
note
This will not affect process.argv
. The intended usage of this function is to control Chromium's behavior.
commandLine.hasSwitch(switch)
â
switch
string - A command-line switch.Returns boolean
- Whether the command-line switch is present.
const { app } = require('electron')
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('remote-debugging-port', '8315')
const hasPort = app.commandLine.hasSwitch('remote-debugging-port')
console.log(hasPort)
commandLine.getSwitchValue(switch)
â
switch
string - A command-line switch.Returns string
- The command-line switch value.
This function is meant to obtain Chromium command line switches. It is not meant to be used for application-specific command line arguments. For the latter, please use process.argv
.
const { app } = require('electron')
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('remote-debugging-port', '8315')
const portValue = app.commandLine.getSwitchValue('remote-debugging-port')
console.log(portValue)
note
When the switch is not present or has no value, it returns empty string.
commandLine.removeSwitch(switch)
â
switch
string - A command-line switch.Removes the specified switch from Chromium's command line.
const { app } = require('electron')
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('remote-debugging-port', '8315')
console.log(app.commandLine.hasSwitch('remote-debugging-port'))
app.commandLine.removeSwitch('remote-debugging-port')
console.log(app.commandLine.hasSwitch('remote-debugging-port'))
