Is it possible to use this inside electronjs?

Is it possible to use this inside electronjs apps? since window.prompt is not an option inside electronjs?

apparently not all the methods in the object are available inside electronjs

[bbatliner]

Have you tried using it in an electron app? I believe it should work. Let me know!

[solancer]

yes I did try, the above screenshot is error log from the dev tools of my electron js app

[bbatliner]

I don't see any errors in your console. Did the dialog show on screen when you opened one?

[solancer]

no it doesn't show a dialog

[solancer]

in the log you will see that logging vex on the console gives only a few methods

[PixievoltNo1]

Do you have the right file? Those are all the methods you'd get from vex.min.js; you'd need vex.combined.min.js to get the vex.dialog object.

Closing because we never found any evidence of something going wrong... Please reopen if you're still having a problem.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but after trying to use this in an Electron app, I am seeing an error implying vex can't access the window object from the renderer process:

I can say the same that happened with @solancer does happened to me as well. I've created a dialogs.js file:

var vex = require('vex-js')
vex.registerPlugin(require('vex-dialog'))
vex.defaultOptions.className = 'vex-theme-os'

module.exports = vex.dialog;

Then I've imported it in a different file:

        var Dialogs   = require('../utils/misc/dialogs')
        
        [...]
        
        console.log(Dialogs)
        Dialogs.open({
            message: 'Which is the user name?',
            input: '<input name="username" type="text" placeholder="" required />',
            buttons: [
                _.assign({}, Dialogs.buttons.YES, { text: 'Confirm' }),
                _.assign({}, Dialogs.buttons.NO,  { text: 'Cancel'  })
            ],
            callback: function (data) {
                if (data) {
                    var name = data.username
                    console.log(name)
                }
            }
        })

While console.log does work, and shows that the Dialogs variable does exist, the input prompt itself never appears.
