files

The files the system opens the app with.

Package @crossbind/extension-filesnpm ↗Source ↗

An app has it by having @crossbind/core-app-host, which lists it as a dependency: there is nothing to install or list.

Use

JavaScript

import { app, events } from 'crossbind/app';
 
events.on('open-files', ({ paths }) => openAll(paths));
openAll(await app.launchFiles());

Options

app.fileTypes lists the types of files the app opens, as [{ name: 'GeoJSON', extensions: ['geojson'] }]. The page gets those no extension's type takes. The app has this extension only where a type is listed.

Platforms

macOS, Linux, Windows, iOS and Android.

Replace or leave out

It holds the role files. An extension that gives replaces: 'files' takes it; app: { without: ['files'] } in crossbind.config.js leaves it out. Leaving it out while app.fileTypes is set stops the build. The guide shows how, and extensions.md what a replacement answers.

app.md has each platform's rules.
