Best Practice: is my app running in node-webkit

[Ed Thompson]

I have an app that will be running in node-webkit, but also as a packaged app in chromeos.

Is there something I can easily check in javascript to tell me I am running in node-webkit, so I can wrap any conditional code?

Hi Ed,

I have something similar and I use the failure / success of  "gui = require('nw.gui');" to determine if I'm running in Node Webkit or not.  From there I set a variable in my application object to whether "gui" is defined or not and use that as a controller for conditional code.

So far it's worked out well for me as it's mostly UI code in my app that's conditional.

I am considering  if (process) { ...}

Could work, I haven't really looked into the process var yet, I must admit.

environment.nodeWebKit = (typeof(process) === 'object' && process.features.uv) ? true : false;

if (environment.nodeWebKit === true) {

Hello,

You can test process.versions['node-webkit']

Why process is undefined? I am using node-webkit on OSX, is the variable name changed?.

Answer my own question:), the problem is due to I used "http://" protocol, after I have changed to "file://", everything works.

I used the app protocol to deal with this issue https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/App%20protocol

For 'http://' protocol i came with this solution: 0===navigator.plugins.length?!0:!1;
