Getting Flash to work on NWJS 0.25+ on Windows 10

Joshua Lunsford — Thu, 28 Sep 2017 14:30:05 +0000

Intro

You might assume that Node Webkit, or NWJS as it's now called, would support flash out of the box or in a simple straight forward way, but it does not.

You can find some of the information needed from a google group discussion. Additional information is contained in a github issue

Below are the steps I used to solve the issue.

Download Flash

Install https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer with the PPAPI option
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
copy C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash to .\PepperFlash\ in your nw folder

Modify NWJS Application

Add the following code in your NWJS application

chrome.contentSettings.plugins.set({
    primaryPattern: "<all_urls>",
    resourceIdentifier: { id: "adobe-flash-player" },
    setting: "allow"
});

Build a Different Burger

Main Points

Minimize initial arguments with defaults
Option to getBurger() at any point in the process

I liked Nishan's Burger Builder article. It utilizes patterns I have been using for years. But it seems I only utilized this chaining pattern with classes and rarely otherwise. Lately I have not been using the class keyword for more functional style of programming. If I had to create a burger builder in the app I'm currently working on at the very moment, here is what it would look like.

'use strict'

const burger = (opts = {}) => {
    let {
        size = 14,
        cheese = false,
        pepperoni = false,
        lettuce = false,
        tomato = false
    } = opts

    const getBurger = () => Object.assign({},{
        size,
        cheese,
        pepperoni,
        lettuce,
        tomato
    })

    const add = topping => ({
        'cheese': () => cheese = true,
        'pepperoni': () => pepperoni = true,
        'lettuce': () => lettuce = true,
        'tomato': () => tomato = true
    }[topping]())

    return {
        getBurger,
        add
    }
}

const myBurger = burger(14)
myBurger.add('cheese')
myBurger.add('lettuce')
myBurger.add('tomato')
myBurger.add('pepperoni')
console.log(myBurger.getBurger())
