Abstract

Menus are also something that traditional web app have never had access to. The application menus were always that of the browsers. If the user accessed a contextual menu on the page, the default browser contextual menu would appear. Web apps had no ability to change either one. However, Electron gives you full control over creating both application-level menus, as well as contextual menus.
