Get created file's path from SaveFileDialog in electron

Question

I am trying to store my created file's path after using SaveFileDialog, here is my code:

    let path;
    dialog.showSaveDialog((fileName) => {
        if (fileName === undefined){
            console.log("You didn't save the file");
            return;
        }

        fs.writeFile(fileName, text, (err) => {
            if(err){
                alert("An error ocurred creating the file "+ err.message)
            }
            alert("The file has been succesfully saved");
        });
    }); 

What I want to happen is that after the user creates the file he would enter file's path in the variable path, is it even possible?

Answer 1

this worked for me:

const { dialog } = require('electron')

dialog.showSaveDialog({
    title: "Save file"
}).then((filePath_obj)=>{
    if (filePath_obj.canceled)
        console.log("canceled")
    else
        console.log('absolute path: ',filePath_obj.filePath);
});
