This example shows how you can perform an action when an OpenFin window
application or platform closes. I have used preload scripts (see the
config files in the config folder) to load this logic without requiring
changes to the window application main page or the need for a custom
platform provider.
The logic from these files in the preload folder can be added to the
script of the main window in a window application or a custom provider for
the platform.
Another important thing to point out is the runtime arguments section of
the config files. This config file specifies some args: a security realm
so that this application is isolated from other applications and the mesh
argument so that the application can still communicate on the message bus
with others.
You can use the <b>Add Settings</b> in the browser or once you have
launched an OpenFin window application or platform using the links and button on the index.html page.
In all cases a cookie with a time entry will be added (which should expire
in a day) and a localstorage entry will be added.
The difference is when you close the browser or re-open the application.
The browser will still have both values but the OpenFin applications will
not. We clear everything but the logic in the preload could be more
specific and doesn't have to clear data (it could be some other on close
logic).
The codesandbox can be found here: https://codesandbox.io/s/openfin-onclose-customlogic-9onyq
Or you can go direct to the url if you just want to launch instead of looking at the code: https://9onyq.csb.app/
Some things you will need to update if you want to run your own copy or if you have forked this from codesandbox:
In config/app.platform.fin.json, config/app.window.fin.json update:
- uuid : make the uuid unique
- visit https://www.openfin.co and request a trial/developer license
- update the url field to reflect your codesandbox url
- update the application icon to reflect your own icon
- update the name and description to reflect your application
- update the security realm to something specific to your application
