Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Just type code or visual studio code into the search box—you should get the link to the corresponding package."

A block of code is set as follows:

win = new BrowserWindow({ 
          width: 800, 
          height: 600, 
          webPreferences: {
            nodeIntegration: true
          }
          frame: false 
      });

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

function createWindow() {
  win = new BrowserWindow({ titleBarStyle: 'hidden' });

  win.loadURL(`http://localhost:3000`);

  win.on('closed', () => {
    win = null;
  });
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

git --version

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "If you click on the icon, you should get the Quit menu entry."
