This PR follows up on sindresorhus/caprine#943.

A couple of mentions:

  • Electron can only copy png or jpg images. I tried with webp, for example, but electron.nativeImage has no support for it. I suppose we could convert to png or jpg.. thoughts?
  • I'm not sure if it should support file:// protocol or not
  • Used the request module for fetching the image buffer

Thanks!

The implementation here is more complicated than I'd like. I think you instead should open an issue on https://github.com/electron/electron about adding an API to create a native image directly from an URL. They already have all the Chrome machinery to download images, so it would be better if they could handle it. Could be electron.nativeImage.createFromURL(url);. In your use-case and link to this PR. Maybe they can suggest even a better solution. Also mention the WebP problem.

I think you could have spent more time on perfecting this PR. At this point, it would have been much faster for me to just implement it myself.

Sorry about that, I’ll do better on future PRs.
