I'm trying to write a wrapper for Twitter using Electron (formerly Atom Shell).



My main.js file (it looks almost identical to the Hello World example, I just changed it in one place):



var app = require('app');  // Module to control application life.
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window'); // Module to create native browser window.

// Report crashes to our server.
require('crash-reporter').start();

// Keep a global reference of the window object, if you don't, the window will
// be closed automatically when the javascript object is GCed.
var mainWindow = null;

// Quit when all windows are closed.
app.on('window-all-closed', function() {
if (process.platform != 'darwin')
app.quit();
});

// This method will be called when atom-shell has done everything
// initialization and ready for creating browser windows.
app.on('ready', function() {

// Create the browser window.
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow ({'width':1000,'height':600});
// and load the index.html of the app.
mainWindow.loadUrl('https://twitter.com');

// Emitted when the window is closed.
mainWindow.on('closed', function() {
// Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
// in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
// when you should delete the corresponding element.
mainWindow = null;
});
});


I try to call alert() function right after mainWindow.loadUrl() but it does not execute.



I understand that main.js file is like the server side of my app, but the question is... How can I call a JavaScript function on page? Where should I write the code?



For example, I want to perform this:



$(document).ready(function() {
alert(Hurray!);
});

I have solved the problem. Here's the example code:



...

app.on('ready', function() {

...

mainWindow.webContents.on('did-finish-load', function() {
mainWindow.webContents.executeJavaScript(alert('Hello There!'););
});

...

});
