+

+ If you do not want your app to open website links + within the app, you can use the shell module + to open them externally. When clicked, the links will open outside + of your app and in the user's default web browser. +

+

+ When the demo button is clicked, the electron website will open in + your browser. +

ProTip

+ Open all outbound links externally. +

+ You may want to open all http and + https links outside of your app. To do this, query + the document and loop through each link and add a listener. This + app uses the code below which is located in + assets/ex-links.js. +
