An npm library that adds a ready-made, extensible context menu to Electron apps, which lack a built-in one. It provides default actions like Cut/Copy/Paste, Save Image, Copy Link, spellchecking, and an Inspect Element item in development, with options to prepend or append custom menu items.
Use cases
- add a right-click context menu to my electron app
- enable copy paste menu on right click in electron
- save images from right-click menu in electron
- add spellcheck corrections to context menu
- add custom items to electron context menu
- show inspect element on right click during development
When to choose
- you're building an Electron app and want a polished context menu without implementing it yourself
- you need default text/image/link actions plus spellchecking out of the box
- you want an easy API to add custom menu items conditionally
When to avoid
- your app is not built with Electron
- you need full control over menu behavior beyond prepend/append customization
- you use an Electron version older than 30
