Introduction to Auto-Launch

Auto-launch is a crucial feature in modern applications, enabling them to start automatically under specific conditions. Leveraging auto-launch capabilities can enhance user experience by ensuring that your application is always running when needed. Below, we explore the APIs available for implementing auto-launch in your applications with multiple examples and a comprehensive app demonstration.

API Examples

1. Checking Auto-Launch Status

This API allows you to check if auto-launch is enabled for your application.

  
    const { autoLaunch } = require('your-autolaunch-module');
    
    autoLaunch.isEnabled()
      .then(enabled => {
        if (enabled) {
          console.log('Auto-launch is enabled');
        } else {
          console.log('Auto-launch is not enabled');
        }
      });
  

2. Enabling Auto-Launch

Enable auto-launch for your application using this simple API call.

  
    autoLaunch.enable()
      .then(() => {
        console.log('Auto-launch has been enabled');
      })
      .catch(err => {
        console.error('Failed to enable auto-launch', err);
      });
  

3. Disabling Auto-Launch

Disable auto-launch for your application.

  
    autoLaunch.disable()
      .then(() => {
        console.log('Auto-launch has been disabled');
      })
      .catch(err => {
        console.error('Failed to disable auto-launch', err);
      });
  

4. Checking Auto-Launch Path

Obtain the current auto-launch path of your application.

  
    autoLaunch.getPath()
      .then(path => {
        console.log('Auto-launch path:', path);
      });
  

App Example

The following is a simple example of a Node.js application using the auto-launch APIs demonstrated above.

  
    const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron');
    const AutoLaunch = require('your-autolaunch-module');
    
    let mainWindow;
    
    function createWindow() {
      mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 });
      mainWindow.loadFile('index.html');
    
      mainWindow.on('closed', function () {
        mainWindow = null;
      });
    }
    
    const autoLaunch = new AutoLaunch({
      name: 'MyApp',
      path: app.getPath('exe'),
    });
    
    app.on('ready', () => {
      createWindow();

      autoLaunch.isEnabled()
        .then(enabled => {
          if (!enabled) autoLaunch.enable();
        })
        .catch(err => console.error('Auto-launch check failed:', err));
    });
    
    app.on('window-all-closed', function () {
      if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
        app.quit();
      }
    });

    app.on('activate', function () {
      if (mainWindow === null) {
        createWindow();
      }
    });
  

By integrating these auto-launch APIs, you can ensure that your application starts automatically, enhancing the overall user experience and keeping your app readily available.
