How do I put an app to run in the background when it’s closed?

Question

I am creating an application in Node.Js using Electron and I need it to continue running in the background when it is closed and turn into an app icon next to the computer clock for the user to have access. However I did not find references to do this task, so the question is:

How to put an app to run in the background when closed?

Answer 1

Just set the event close of the object BrowserWindow so that it hides the application instead of closing it:

let win = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 380,
    height: 600,
  })

 win.on('close', event => {
    event.preventDefault()
    win.hide()
 })
