session

Manage browser sessions, cookies, cache, proxy settings, etc.管理浏览器会话、Cookie、缓存、代理设置等。

Process:进程:Main

The session module can be used to create new Session objects.session模块可用于创建新的Session对象。

You can also access the session of existing pages by using the session property of WebContents, or from the session module.您还可以使用WebContentssession属性或从session模块访问现有页面的session

const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')

const win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 })
win.loadURL('http://github.com')

const ses = win.webContents.session
console.log(ses.getUserAgent())

Methods方法

The session module has the following methods:session模块具有以下方法:

session.fromPartition(partition[, options])

  • partition string
  • options Object (optional)
    • cache boolean - Whether to enable cache.是否启用缓存。

Returns返回Session - A session instance from partition string. partition字符串中的会话实例。When there is an existing Session with the same partition, it will be returned; otherwise a new Session instance will be created with options.当存在具有相同partition的现有Session时,将返回该Session;否则将创建一个带有选项的新Session实例。

If partition starts with persist:, the page will use a persistent session available to all pages in the app with the same partition. 如果partitionpersist:开头,则页面将使用可用于应用程序中具有相同partition的所有页面的持久会话。if there is no persist: prefix, the page will use an in-memory session. 如果没有persist:前缀,页面将使用内存中的会话。If the partition is empty then default session of the app will be returned.如果partition为空,则会返回应用程序的默认会话。

To create a Session with options, you have to ensure the Session with the partition has never been used before. 要创建带有optionsSession,您必须确保以前从未使用过带有partitionSessionThere is no way to change the options of an existing Session object.无法更改现有Session对象的options

Properties属性

The session module has the following properties:session模块具有以下属性:

session.defaultSession

A Session object, the default session object of the app.Session对象,应用程序的默认会话对象。

Class: Session

Writes any unwritten DOMStorage data to disk.

ses.setProxy(config)

  • config Object
    • mode string (optional) - The proxy mode. Should be one of direct, auto_detect, pac_script, fixed_servers or system. If it's unspecified, it will be automatically determined based on other specified options.
      • direct In direct mode all connections are created directly, without any proxy involved.
      • auto_detect In auto_detect mode the proxy configuration is determined by a PAC script that can be downloaded at http://wpad/wpad.dat.
      • pac_script In pac_script mode the proxy configuration is determined by a PAC script that is retrieved from the URL specified in the pacScript. This is the default mode if pacScript is specified.
      • fixed_servers In fixed_servers mode the proxy configuration is specified in proxyRules. This is the default mode if proxyRules is specified.
      • system In system mode the proxy configuration is taken from the operating system. Note that the system mode is different from setting no proxy configuration. In the latter case, Electron falls back to the system settings only if no command-line options influence the proxy configuration.

When mode is unspecified, pacScript and proxyRules are provided together, the proxyRules option is ignored and pacScript configuration is applied.

You may need ses.closeAllConnections to close currently in flight connections to prevent pooled sockets using previous proxy from being reused by future requests.

The proxyRules has to follow the rules below:

proxyRules = schemeProxies[";"<schemeProxies>]
schemeProxies = [<urlScheme>"="]<proxyURIList>
urlScheme = "http" | "https" | "ftp" | "socks"
proxyURIList = <proxyURL>[","<proxyURIList>]
proxyURL = [<proxyScheme>"://"]<proxyHost>[":"<proxyPort>]

For example:

  • http=foopy:80;ftp=foopy2 - Use HTTP proxy foopy:80 for http:// URLs, and HTTP proxy foopy2:80 for ftp:// URLs.
  • foopy:80 - Use HTTP proxy foopy:80 for all URLs.
  • foopy:80,bar,direct:// - Use HTTP proxy foopy:80 for all URLs, failing over to bar if foopy:80 is unavailable, and after that using no proxy.
  • socks4://foopy - Use SOCKS v4 proxy foopy:1080 for all URLs.
  • http=foopy,socks5://bar.com - Use HTTP proxy foopy for http URLs, and fail over to the SOCKS5 proxy bar.com if foopy is unavailable.
  • http=foopy,direct:// - Use HTTP proxy foopy for http URLs, and use no proxy if foopy is unavailable.
  • http=foopy;socks=foopy2 - Use HTTP proxy foopy for http URLs, and use socks4://foopy2 for all other URLs.

The proxyBypassRules is a comma separated list of rules described below:

  • [ URL_SCHEME "://" ] HOSTNAME_PATTERN [ ":" <port> ]

    Match all hostnames that match the pattern HOSTNAME_PATTERN.

    Match a particular domain suffix.

    Examples: ".google.com", ".com", "http://.google.com"

  • [ SCHEME "://" ] IP_LITERAL [ ":" PORT ]

    Match URLs which are IP address literals.

    Examples: "127.0.1", "[0:0::1]", "[::1]", "http://[::1]:99"

  • IP_LITERAL "/" PREFIX_LENGTH_IN_BITS

    Match any URL that is to an IP literal that falls between the given range. IP range is specified using CIDR notation.

    Examples: "192.168.1.1/16", "fefe:13::abc/33".

  • <local>

    Match local addresses. The meaning of <local> is whether the host matches one of: "127.0.0.1", "::1", "localhost".

This should not be trusted if the verificationResult is not OK.
      • verificationResult string - OK if the certificate is trusted, otherwise an error like CERT_REVOKED.
      • errorCode Integer - Error code.
    • callback Function
      • verificationResult Integer - Value can be one of certificate error codes from here. Apart from the certificate error codes, the following special codes can be used.

        • -2 - Indicates failure.
        • -3 - Uses the verification result from chromium.

Sets the certificate verify proc for session, the proc will be called with proc(request, callback) whenever a server certificate verification is requested. Calling callback(0) accepts the certificate, calling callback(-2) rejects it.

Calling setCertificateVerifyProc(null) will revert back to default certificate verify proc.

const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
const win = new BrowserWindow()

win.webContents.session.setCertificateVerifyProc((request, callback) => {

Sets the handler which can be used to respond to permission requests for the session. Calling callback(true) will allow the permission and callback(false) will reject it. To clear the handler, call setPermissionRequestHandler(null). Please note that you must also implement setPermissionCheckHandler to get complete permission handling. Most web APIs do a permission check and then make a permission request if the check is denied.

const { session } = require('electron')
session.fromPartition('some-partition').setPermissionRequestHandler((webContents, permission, callback) => {
if (webContents.getURL() === 'some-host' && permission === 'notifications') {

}

callback(true)
})

ses.setPermissionCheckHandler(handler)

  • handler Function<boolean> | null
    • webContents (WebContents | null) - WebContents checking the permission. Please note that if the request comes from a subframe you should use requestingUrl to check the request origin. All cross origin sub frames making permission checks will pass a null webContents to this handler, while certain other permission checks such as notifications checks will always pass null. You should use embeddingOrigin and requestingOrigin to determine what origin the owning frame and the requesting frame are on respectively.
    • permission string - Type of permission check. Valid values are midiSysex, notifications, geolocation, media,mediaKeySystem,midi, pointerLock, fullscreen, openExternal, hid, or serial.

      • requestingUrl string (optional) - The last URL the requesting frame loaded. This is not provided for cross-origin sub frames making permission checks.
      • isMainFrame boolean - Whether the frame making the request is the main frame

Sets the handler which can be used to respond to permission checks for the session. Returning true will allow the permission and false will reject it. Please note that you must also implement setPermissionRequestHandler to get complete permission handling. Most web APIs do a permission check and then make a permission request if the check is denied. To clear the handler, call setPermissionCheckHandler(null).

const { session } = require('electron')
const url = require('url')
session.fromPartition('some-partition').setPermissionCheckHandler((webContents, permission, requestingOrigin) => {
if (new URL(requestingOrigin).hostname === 'some-host' && permission === 'notifications') {

      • origin string - The origin URL of the device permission check.设备权限检查的原始URL。
      • device HIDDevice | SerialPort- the device that permission is being requested for.

Sets the handler which can be used to respond to device permission checks for the session. Returning true will allow the device to be permitted and false will reject it. To clear the handler, call setDevicePermissionHandler(null). This handler can be used to provide default permissioning to devices without first calling for permission to devices (eg via navigator.hid.requestDevice). If this handler is not defined, the default device permissions as granted through device selection (eg via navigator.hid.requestDevice) will be used. Additionally, the default behavior of Electron is to store granted device permision in memory. If longer term storage is needed, a developer can store granted device permissions (eg when handling the select-hid-device event) and then read from that storage with setDevicePermissionHandler.

    • minVersion string (optional) - Can be tls1, tls1.1, tls1.2 or tls1.3. The minimum SSL version to allow when connecting to remote servers. Defaults to tls1.
    • maxVersion string (optional) - Can be tls1.2 or tls1.3. The maximum SSL version to allow when connecting to remote servers. Defaults to tls1.3.
    • disabledCipherSuites Integer (optional) - List of cipher suites which should be explicitly prevented from being used in addition to those disabled by the net built-in policy. Supported literal forms: 0xAABB, where AA is cipher_suite[0] and BB is cipher_suite[1], as defined in RFC 2246, Section 7.4.1.2. Unrecognized but parsable cipher suites in this form will not return an error. Ex: To disable TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5, specify 0x0004, while to disable TLS_ECDH_ECDSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, specify 0xC002. Note that TLSv1.3 ciphers cannot be disabled using this mechanism.

ses.getBlobData(identifier)

  • identifier string - Valid UUID.

Returns返回Promise<Buffer> - resolves with blob data.

ses.downloadURL(url)

  • url string

Initiates a download of the resource at url. The API will generate a DownloadItem that can be accessed with the will-download event.

    • eTag string (optional) - ETag header value.
    • startTime Double (optional) - Time when download was started in number of seconds since UNIX epoch.

Allows resuming cancelled or interrupted downloads from previous Session. The API will generate a DownloadItem that can be accessed with the will-download event. The DownloadItem will not have any WebContents associated with it and the initial state will be interrupted. The download will start only when the resume API is called on the DownloadItem.

ses.clearAuthCache()

Returns返回Promise<void> - resolves when the session’s HTTP authentication cache has been cleared.

ses.setPreloads(preloads)

  • preloads string[] - An array of absolute path to preload scripts

ses.getPreloads()

Returns返回string[] an array of paths to preload scripts that have been registered.

ses.setCodeCachePath(path)

  • path String - Absolute path to store the v8 generated JS code cache from the renderer.

Sets the directory to store the generated JS code cache for this session. 设置用于存储此会话生成的JS代码缓存的目录。The directory is not required to be created by the user before this call, the runtime will create if it does not exist otherwise will use the existing directory. 此调用之前,用户不需要创建目录,如果不存在,则运行时将创建,否则将使用现有目录。If directory cannot be created, then code cache will not be used and all operations related to code cache will fail silently inside the runtime. By default, the directory will be Code Cache under the respective user data folder.

ses.clearCodeCaches(options)

  • options Object
    • urls String[] (optional) - An array of url corresponding to the resource whose generated code cache needs to be removed. 与需要删除其生成的代码缓存的资源相对应的url数组。If the list is empty then all entries in the cache directory will be removed.如果列表为空,那么缓存目录中的所有条目都将被删除。

Returns返回Promise<void> - resolves when the code cache clear operation is complete.在代码缓存清除操作完成时解析。

ses.setSpellCheckerEnabled(enable)

  • enable boolean

Sets whether to enable the builtin spell checker.设置是否启用内置拼写检查器。

ses.isSpellCheckerEnabled()

Returns返回boolean - Whether the builtin spell checker is enabled.

ses.setSpellCheckerLanguages(languages)

  • languages string[] - An array of language codes to enable the spellchecker for.

The built in spellchecker does not automatically detect what language a user is typing in. In order for the spell checker to correctly check their words you must call this API with an array of language codes. You can get the list of supported language codes with the ses.availableSpellCheckerLanguages property.

Note: On macOS the OS spellchecker is used and will detect your language automatically. This API is a no-op on macOS.

ses.getSpellCheckerLanguages()

Returns返回string[] - An array of language codes the spellchecker is enabled for. If this list is empty the spellchecker will fallback to using en-US. By default on launch if this setting is an empty list Electron will try to populate this setting with the current OS locale. This setting is persisted across restarts.

Note: On macOS the OS spellchecker is used and has its own list of languages. This API is a no-op on macOS.

ses.setSpellCheckerDictionaryDownloadURL(url)

  • url string - A base URL for Electron to download hunspell dictionaries from.Electron的基本URL,用于从中下载拼写词典。

By default Electron will download hunspell dictionaries from the Chromium CDN. If you want to override this behavior you can use this API to point the dictionary downloader at your own hosted version of the hunspell dictionaries. We publish a hunspell_dictionaries.zip file with each release which contains the files you need to host here.

The file server must be case insensitive. If you cannot do this, you must upload each file twice: once with the case it has in the ZIP file and once with the filename as all lowercase.

If the files present in hunspell_dictionaries.zip are available at https://example.com/dictionaries/language-code.bdic then you should call this api with ses.setSpellCheckerDictionaryDownloadURL('https://example.com/dictionaries/'). Please note the trailing slash. The URL to the dictionaries is formed as ${url}${filename}.

Note: On macOS the OS spellchecker is used and therefore we do not download any dictionary files. This API is a no-op on macOS.

ses.listWordsInSpellCheckerDictionary()

Returns返回Promise<string[]> - An array of all words in app's custom dictionary. Resolves when the full dictionary is loaded from disk.

ses.addWordToSpellCheckerDictionary(word)

  • word string - The word you want to add to the dictionary你想添加到词典中的单词

Returns返回boolean - Whether the word was successfully written to the custom dictionary. This API will not work on non-persistent (in-memory) sessions.

Note: On macOS and Windows 10 this word will be written to the OS custom dictionary as well

ses.removeWordFromSpellCheckerDictionary(word)

  • word string - The word you want to remove from the dictionary要从字典中删除的单词

Returns返回boolean - Whether the word was successfully removed from the custom dictionary. 是否已成功从自定义词典中删除该单词。This API will not work on non-persistent (in-memory) sessions.此API将不适用于非持久性(内存中)会话。

Note: On macOS and Windows 10 this word will be removed from the OS custom dictionary as well在macOS和Windows 10上,这个词也将从操作系统自定义词典中删除

ses.loadExtension(path[, options])

  • path string - Path to a directory containing an unpacked Chrome extension包含未打包Chrome扩展的目录的路径
  • options Object (optional)
    • allowFileAccess boolean - Whether to allow the extension to read local files over file:// protocol and inject content scripts into file:// pages. This is required e.g. for loading devtools extensions on file:// URLs. 这是必需的,例如在file://URL上加载devtools扩展。Defaults to false.默认为false

Returns返回Promise<Extension> - resolves when the extension is loaded.加载扩展时解析。

This method will raise an exception if the extension could not be loaded. If there are warnings when installing the extension (e.g. if the extension requests an API that Electron does not support) then they will be logged to the console.

Note that Electron does not support the full range of Chrome extensions APIs. See Supported Extensions APIs for more details on what is supported.

Note that in previous versions of Electron, extensions that were loaded would be remembered for future runs of the application. This is no longer the case: loadExtension must be called on every boot of your app if you want the extension to be loaded.

const { app, session } = require('electron')
const path = require('path')

app.on('ready', async () => {
await session.defaultSession.loadExtension(
path.join(__dirname, 'react-devtools'),
// allowFileAccess is required to load the devtools extension on file:// URLs.
{ allowFileAccess: true }
)
// Note that in order to use the React DevTools extension, you'll need to
// download and unzip a copy of the extension.
})

This API does not support loading packed (.crx) extensions.

Note: This API cannot be called before the ready event of the app module is emitted.

Note: Loading extensions into in-memory (non-persistent) sessions is not supported and will throw an error.

ses.removeExtension(extensionId)

  • extensionId string - ID of extension to remove

Unloads an extension.

Note: This API cannot be called before the ready event of the app module is emitted.

ses.getExtension(extensionId)

  • extensionId string - ID of extension to query

Returns返回Extension | null - The loaded extension with the given ID.

Note: This API cannot be called before the ready event of the app module is emitted.

ses.getAllExtensions()

Returns返回Extension[] - A list of all loaded extensions.

Note: This API cannot be called before the ready event of the app module is emitted.

ses.getStoragePath()

Returns返回string | null - The absolute file system path where data for this session is persisted on disk. For in memory sessions this returns null.
