Methods

`Optional`claimsWindow

claimsWindow?(args: LaunchArguments): MaybePromise<boolean>
Experimental
Whether this contribution claims responsibility for a window opened for the given launch, e.g. a --attach-container launch claimed by @theia/dev-container. A claimed launch opens an empty window rather than restoring the last workspace, since the window is about to be replaced by whatever the claiming contribution attaches to. Core itself stays agnostic of the concrete CLI options. The frontend receives the same options (see LaunchArgsStore), so the corresponding frontend contribution can show a placeholder from the first paint.
Parameters
- args: LaunchArguments
Returns MaybePromise<boolean>
- Defined in packages/core/src/electron-main/electron-main-application.ts:138

`Optional`onStart

onStart?(application: ElectronMainApplication): MaybePromise<void>
The application is ready and is starting. This is the time to initialize services global to this process.

Invoked when the electron-main process starts for the first time.
Parameters
- application: ElectronMainApplication
Returns MaybePromise<void>
- Defined in packages/core/src/electron-main/electron-main-application.ts:123

`Optional`onStop

onStop?(application: ElectronMainApplication): void
The application is stopping. Contributions must perform only synchronous operations.
Parameters
- application: ElectronMainApplication
Returns void
- Defined in packages/core/src/electron-main/electron-main-application.ts:127
