Close window but not app on click of "x" on Mac OS with node webkit

Question

Usually on mac, when I close the window it doesn't quit the app but when using node webkit it does quit the app.

Does anyone know a workaround so when I click the "x" it just closes the window but not the app?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

The window passes an argument to the callback function if "quit" was clicked, either from the menu bar, or the dock (also on command+Q). I'm using this code and it works as expected:

var gui = require('nw.gui'),
    app = gui.App,
    win = gui.Window.get();

win.on('close', function (action) {
    'quit' === action ?
        app.quit() :
        win.hide();
});

app.on('reopen', function(){
    win.show();
});
