Electron: Session

Used to manage browser sessions, cookies, cache, proxy settings, etc.

• Access the session of existing pages by using the session property of WebContents.

  const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
  
  const win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 })
  win.loadURL('http://github.com')
  
  const ses = win.webContents.session
  console.log(ses.getUserAgent())

• Access the default session object of the app by using the defaultSession property of session module.

  const { session } = require('electron')
  console.log(ses.defaultSession)

• session.fromPartition(partition[, options])

  • Code illustrator

    const { session } = require('electron')
    const ses = session.fromPartition('persist:name')
    console.log(ses.getUserAgent())

  • Return a session instance from partition string. If there is an existing Session with the same partition, it will be returned, otherwise a new Session instance will be created.

  • If partition starts with persist:, the page will use a persistent session available to all pages in the app with the same partition.

  • If there is no persist: prefix, the page will use an in-memory session.

  • If the partition is empty, the default session of the app will be returned.
