Dialog in Electron Js

• In Electron.js, the `dialog` module is a built-in module that provides methods for displaying native system dialogs to the user.

• It allows you to show various types of dialogs such as message boxes, file selection dialogs, error dialogs, and more. These dialogs are styled and behave according to the operating system's native user interface, providing a consistent and familiar experience for users.

The `dialog` module provides several methods for different types of dialogs. Let's explore some of the commonly used ones:

• showMessageBox: Displays a message box dialog with customizable buttons and icon options. It is useful for showing informative messages or asking the user for confirmation. The `showMessageBox` method returns a promise that resolves to an object containing the user's response.

• showOpenDialog: Opens a file selection dialog that allows the user to select one or more files or directories. It supports options for filtering the displayed files, specifying the dialog's title, and setting the default directory. The `showOpenDialog` method returns a promise that resolves to an array of file paths selected by the user.

• showSaveDialog: Opens a save dialog that prompts the user to select a file path for saving. It provides options for setting the dialog's title, default file name, and default directory. The `showSaveDialog` method returns a promise that resolves to the selected file path.

• showErrorBox: Displays an error message box dialog with a title and an error message. It is useful for presenting critical errors to the user. The `showErrorBox` method does not return a promise and directly shows the dialog.

• showCertificateTrustDialog: Shows a dialog that asks the user whether to trust a SSL/TLS certificate. It is used when encountering an untrusted or self-signed certificate in an Electron app that requires secure communication. The `showCertificateTrustDialog` method returns a promise that resolves to a boolean indicating the user's decision.

• These are just a few examples of the dialogs provided by the `dialog` module in Electron.js. Each method accepts an options object that allows you to customize various aspects of the dialog, such as the title, message, buttons, filters, and more.

• By utilizing the `dialog` module, you can enhance your Electron application by providing a native and intuitive user interface for interactions that require user input or displaying important information.
