# electron-fingerprints
Generates fingerprints for electron version detection by downloading electron releases and generating checksums of the files contained in each release.
## why
You can use this to guess which electron version is being used in a given application.
A given electron version is (almost always) tightly bound to a node and chrome release as well, so
you get a better sense of what the application is running.
Written as the backend for [`which-electon`][we].
## usage
2021-07-15 18:40:24 +00:00
This is just the raw data files, see [which-electron][we] for a usable package. The `lookup.json` file is published as the `electron-fingerprints` package on NPM.
