OS dialog API

[ccorcos]

Things like the native open file dialog would be great.

it works. Maybe not documented?

    const filePaths = await window.parent.dialog({
      type: 'open', // or 'save'
      defaultPath: defaultPathFromSettings,
      allowFiles: true,
      title: 'Choose a file'
    })

    if (!filePaths || filePaths.length === 0 || filePaths[0] === '') return

    const file = filePaths[0]

Oh sweet.

[heapwolf]

Oh, I think the reason why it's not documented is because I wanted to make the javascript part of the API conform to the api on MDN

[ccorcos]

Ah, thats cool. I'm trying to hunt around for where this code is, but I'm not seeing a dialog property on the system object: https://github.com/socketsupply/ssc-node/blob/master/index.js

you can find it here: https://github.com/socketsupply/socket/blob/master/src/lib/desktop.js#L51
and its native implementation here: https://github.com/socketsupply/socket/blob/master/src/desktop/main.cc#L603
