源码目录结构

Electron 的源代码主要依据 Chromium 的拆分约定被拆成了许多部分。

为了更好地理解源代码，您可能需要了解一下 Chromium 的多进程架构。

源代码的目录结构

Electron
├── build/ - 使用 GN 构建所需要的配置文件。
├── buildflags/ - 条件编译时可选的Features.
├── chromium_src/ - 从Chromium复制的源代码，不属于内容层。

|   |                 used in the main process.
|   ├── common/ - Relating to logic needed by both main and renderer processes.
|   |   └── api/ - API implementation for modules that can be used in
|   |              both the main and renderer processes

|   |   |             the main process.
|   |   └── web-view/ - Logic that handles the use of webviews in the
|   |                   renderer process.
|   ├── sandboxed_renderer/ - Logic that handles creation of sandboxed renderer
|   |   |                     processes.
|   |   └── api/ - API implementation for sandboxed renderer processes.
|   └── worker/ - Logic that handles proper functionality of Node.js
|                 environments in Web Workers.
