Create and Manage Windows

The BrowserWindow module in Electron allows you to create a new browser window or manage an existing one.

Each browser window is a separate process, known as the renderer process. This process, like the main process that controls the life cycle of the app, has full access to the Node.js APIs.

Open the full API documentation (opens in new window) in your browser.
