I wish to catch the event of clicking the app window's close button in Electron app.
I'm trying to develope Electron app for Mac OSX.
I want to hide the app window, not to terminate the app when a user clicks the window's close button like other Mac apps.
However, I can not detect wether the system should be terminated or it should be hidden, because in any case, a close event of browser-window is called when a close button is clicked, the OS is shut down or the app is terminated with quit command, Cmd+Q.
Is there any way to catch the event of clicking the app window's close button in Electron app?
Thank you for your help.

To detect the event of clicking a close button, I tried this code
var app = require('app');
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window');
var Menu = require('menu');
var force_quit = false;
var menu = Menu.buildFromTemplate([
{
label: 'Sample',
submenu: [
{label: 'About App', selector: 'orderFrontStandardAboutPanel:'},
{label: 'Quit', accelerator: 'CmdOrCtrl+Q', click: function() {force_quit=true; app.quit();}}
]
}]);
app.on('window-all-closed', function(){
if(process.platform != 'darwin')
app.quit();
});
app.on('ready', function(){
Menu.setApplicationMenu(menu);
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({width:800, height:600});
mainWindow.on('close', function(e){
if(!force_quit){
e.preventDefault();
mainWindow.hide();
}
});
mainWindow.on('closed', function(){
console.log(closed);
mainWindow = null;
app.quit();
});
app.on('activate-with-no-open-windows', function(){
mainWindow.show();
});
});
With this code, the app is hidden when a close button of the app window is clicked, and the app is terminated when Cmd+Q is typed. However, when I try to shut down the OS, the shutdown event is prevented.
