<h1>Use system dialogs</h1>
<h3>
The <code>dialog</code> module in Electron allows you to use native
system dialogs for opening files or directories, saving a file or
displaying informational messages.
</h3>
<p>
This is a main process module because this process is more efficient
with native utilities and it allows the call to happen without
interrupting the visible elements in your page's renderer process.

In this demo, the <code>ipc</code> module is used to send a message
from the renderer process instructing the main process to launch the
save dialog. It returns the path selected by the user which can be
relayed back to the renderer process.
</p>
<h5>Renderer Process</h5>
<pre>
<code>
const {ipcRenderer} = require('electron')
const saveBtn = document.getElementById('save-dialog')
saveBtn.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
ipcRenderer.send('save-dialog')
})
ipcRenderer.on('saved-file', (event, path) => {
if (!path) path = 'No path'
document.getElementById('file-saved').innerHTML = `Path selected: ${path}`
})
</code>
</pre>
<h5>Main Process</h5>
<pre>
<code>
const {ipcMain, dialog} = require('electron')
ipcMain.on('save-dialog', (event) => {
const options = {
title: 'Save an Image',
filters: [
{ name: 'Images', extensions: ['jpg', 'png', 'gif'] }
]
}
dialog.showSaveDialog(options, (filename) => {
event.sender.send('saved-file', filename)
})
})
</code>
