The definitions in the Electron typescript include an interface named MainInterface. This interface includes familiar members like app and autoUpdater, as well as less familiar ones such as BrowserView, BrowserWindow, and ClientRequest.
One specific question that arises is about the usage of typeof XX
. Typically, typeof
is understood to return the string name of a type. For example, BrowserView: typeof BrowserView;
can be seen as equivalent to BrowserView: "BrowserView";
The confusion lies in understanding the purpose behind using typeof
in these member definitions. What exactly does it signify or add to the definition?
