The name of the application, which will affect strings in titles and the icon.
**For Linux Users:** Do not put spaces if you define the app name yourself with `--name`, as this will cause problems (tested on Ubuntu 14.04) when pinning a packaged app to the launcher.
- Default: the architecture of the installed version of node (usually the architecture of the build-time machine).
- To test your default architecture you can run
```
node -p "process.arch"
```
(See https://nodejs.org/api/os.html#os_os_arch)
- Please note: On M1 Macs, unless an arm64 version of brew is used to install nodejs, the version installed will be an `x64` version run through Rosetta, and will result in an `x64` app being generated. If this is not desired, either specify `-a arm64` to build for M1, or re-install node with an arm64 version of brew. See https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/issues/1089
- Can be overridden by specifying one of: `ia32`, `x64`, `armv7l`, `arm64`.
The human-readable copyright line for the app. Maps to the `LegalCopyright` metadata property on Windows, and `NSHumanReadableCopyright` on OS X.
#### [app-version]
```
--app-version <value>
```
The release version of the application. By default the `version` property in the `package.json` is used but it can be overridden with this argument. If neither are provided, the version of Electron will be used. Maps to the `ProductVersion` metadata property on Windows, and `CFBundleShortVersionString` on OS X.
#### [build-version]
```
--build-version <value>
```
The build version of the application. Maps to the `FileVersion` metadata property on Windows, and `CFBundleVersion` on OS X.
Specifies if the destination directory should be not overwritten, defaults to false.
#### [conceal]
```
-c, --conceal
```
Specifies if the source code within the nativefied app should be packaged into an archive, defaults to false, [read more](http://electron.atom.io/docs/v0.36.0/tutorial/application-packaging/).
If your `PATH` has our image-conversion dependencies (`iconutil`, and either ImageMagick `convert` + `identify`, or GraphicsMagick `gm`), Nativefier will automatically convert the `.png` to a `.icns` for you.
On MacOS 10.14+, if you have set a global shortcut that includes a Media key, the user will need to be prompted for permissions to enable these keys in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility.
[iConvertIcons](https://iconverticons.com/online/) can be used to convert `.pngs`, though it can be quite cumbersome.
To retrieve the `.icns` file from the downloaded file, extract it first and press File > Get Info. Then select the icon in the top left corner of the info window and press `⌘-C`. Open Preview and press File > New from clipboard and save the `.icns` file. It took me a while to figure out how to do that and question why a `.icns` file was not simply provided in the downloaded archive.
Use a counter that persists even with window focus for the application badge for sites that use an "(X)" format counter in the page title (i.e. Gmail).
By default, Nativefier uses a preset user agent string for your OS and masquerades as a regular Google Chrome browser, so that sites like WhatsApp Web will not say that the current browser is unsupported.
If this flag is passed, it will not override the user agent.
Forces the packaged app to ignore web security errors, such as [Mixed Content](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Security/Mixed_content) errors when receiving HTTP content on a HTTPS site.
Regular expression of URLs to consider "internal"; all other URLs will be opened in an external browser. Defaults to URLs on same second-level domain as app.
Forbid navigation to URLs not considered "internal" (see '--internal-urls'). Instead of opening in an external browser, attempts to navigate to external URLs will be blocked, and an error message will be shown. Default: false
If `--flash` is specified, Nativefier will automatically try to determine the location of your Google Chrome flash binary. Take note that the version of Chrome on your computer should be the same as the version used by the version of Electron for the Nativefied package.
Take note that if this flag is specified, the `--insecure` flag will be added automatically, to prevent the Mixed Content errors on sites such as [Twitch.tv](https://www.twitch.tv/).
You can also specify the path to the Chrome flash plugin directly with this flag. The path can be found at [chrome://plugins](chrome://plugins), under `Adobe Flash Player` > `Location`. This flag automatically enables the `--flash` flag as well.
(macOS only) Sets the style for the app's title bar. See more details at electron's [Frameless Window](https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/frameless-window.md#alternatives-on-macos) documentation.
Consider injecting a custom CSS (via `--inject`) for better integration. Specifically, the CSS should specify a draggable region. For instance, if the target website has a `<header>` element, you can make it draggable like so.
```css
/* site.css */
/* header is draggable... */
header {
-webkit-app-region: drag;
}
/* but any buttons inside the header shouldn't be draggable */
header button {
-webkit-app-region: no-drag;
}
/* perhaps move some items out of way for the traffic light */
When the optional argument `start-in-tray` is provided, i.e. the application is started using `--tray start-in-tray`, the main window will not be shown on first start.
a JSON string of key/value pairs to be set as file download options. See [electron-dl](https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-dl) for available options.
// Further config depends on your event type. See docs at: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/web-contents.md#contentssendinputeventevent
If you want to trigger key events which include a modifier (Ctrl, Shift,...), you need to keyDown the modifier key first, then keyDown the actual key _including_ the modifier key as modifier property and then keyUp both keys again. No idea what this means? See the example for `MediaPreviousTrack` below!
**For more details, please see the Electron documentation:**
- List of available keys: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/accelerator.md
- Details about how to create input event objects: https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/web-contents.md#contentssendinputeventevent
a JSON string that will be sent directly into electron BrowserWindow options.
See [Electron's BrowserWindow API Documentation](https://electronjs.org/docs/api/browser-window#new-browserwindowoptions) for the complete list of options.
Example:
```bash
nativefier <your-website> --browserwindow-options '{ "webPreferences": { "defaultFontFamily": { "standard": "Comic Sans MS", "serif": "Comic Sans MS" } } }'
Disables the warning shown when opening a Nativefier app made a long time ago, using an old and probably insecure Electron. Nativefier uses the Chrome browser (through Electron), and remaining on an old version is A. performance sub-optimal and B. dangerous.
However, there are legitimate use cases to disable such a warning. For example, if you are using Nativefier to ship a kiosk app exposing an internal site (over which you have control). Under those circumstances, it is reasonable to disable this warning that you definitely don't want end-users to see.
