Beispiel​

Managing recent documents​

docs/fiddles/features/recent-documents (19.0.6)Open in Fiddle
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
const fs = require('fs')
const path = require('path')

function createWindow () {
  const win = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600
  })

  win.loadFile('index.html')
}

const fileName = 'recently-used.md'
fs.writeFile(fileName, 'Lorem Ipsum', () => {
  app.addRecentDocument(path.join(__dirname, fileName))
})

app.whenReady().then(createWindow)

app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
  app.clearRecentDocuments()
  if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
    app.quit()
  }
})

app.on('activate', () => {
  if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) {
    createWindow()
  }
})

Adding a recent document​

To add a file to recent documents, use the app.addRecentDocument API.

After launching the Electron application, right click the application icon. In this guide, the item is a Markdown file located in the root of the project. You should see recently-used.md added to the list of recent files:

Recent document

Clearing the list of recent documents​

To clear the list of recent documents, use the app.clearRecentDocuments API. In this guide, the list of documents is cleared once all windows have been closed.

Additional information​

Bemerkungen zu Windows​

To use this feature on Windows, your application has to be registered as a handler of the file type of the document, otherwise the file won't appear in JumpList even after you have added it. Alle Informationen zum Registrieren Ihrer Anwendung finden Sie unter Application Registration.

Sobald ein Nutzer auf eine Datei in der JumpList klickt, wird eine neue Instanz Ihrer Anwendung gestartet mit dem Pfad der Datei als Befehlszeilenargument.

Bemerkungen zu macOS​

Add the Recent Documents list to the application menu​

You can add menu items to access and clear recent documents by adding the following code snippet to your menu template:

{
  "submenu":[
    {
      "label":"Open Recent",
      "role":"recentdocuments",
      "submenu":[
        {
          "label":"Clear Recent",
          "role":"clearrecentdocuments"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Make sure the application menu is added after the 'ready' event and not before, or the menu item will be disabled:

const { app, Menu } = require('electron')

const template = [
  // Menu template here
]
const menu = Menu.buildFromTemplate(template)

app.whenReady().then(() => {
  Menu.setApplicationMenu(menu)
})

macOS Recent Documents menu item

Sobald eine Datei vom Menu der zuletzt hinzugefügten Dateien angefordert wird, so wird dafür das open-file-Event des app-Moduls ausgeworfen.
