# [electron-fingerprints](https://github.com/captn3m0/electron-fingerprints/packages/1337118)    
|
|
|
|
Generates fingerprints for electron version detection by downloading electron releases and generating checksums (sha1 hashes) of the files contained in each release. Published as a lookup table on the GitHub NPM Registry.
|
|
|
|
## 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].
|
|
|
|
## install
|
|
|
|
See [the GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-npm-registry#installing-a-package) to configure the GitHub Packages NPM Registry.
|
|
|
|
Install from the command line:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
npm install @captn3m0/electron-fingerprints
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install via package.json:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
"@captn3m0/electron-fingerprints": "*"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## usage
|
|
|
|
This repository only contains the raw data files, see [which-electron][we] for a usable package. The `lookup.json` files are published as the `@captn3m0/electron-fingerprints` package on the GitHub NPM Package Registry as well as on [GitHub Releases][releases]. Programmatic usage is still possible:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const lookup = require("@captn3m0/electron-fingerprints");
|
|
// baf786083f482c1f035e50e105b5f7475af1e00b = sha1(ffmpeg.dll)
|
|
lookup["win32-x64"]["baf786083f482c1f035e50e105b5f7475af1e00b"];
|
|
// ["v1.4.3", "v1.4.4", "v1.4.5"]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can sort or filter the returned versions if needed. If you'd like to access the raw data, see `HACKING.md` for a schema description. If you'd like to use this in a project that doesn't use NPM, you can use this repository as a git submodule and track the `main` branch for updates.
|
|
|
|
## supported releases
|
|
|
|
All _Stable_ electron releases for the following architectures are fingerprinted:
|
|
|
|
- `linux-x64`
|
|
- `linux-arm64`
|
|
- `darwin-x64` (Mac OS)
|
|
- `win32-x64` (Windows)
|
|
- `win32-arm64` (Windows)
|
|
- `darwin-arm64` (Apple Silicon)
|
|
|
|
A list of release fingerprints is under the `hashes` directory. Releases made when Electron was still called `atom-shell` are not supported (Before April 2015).
|
|
|
|
## versioning
|
|
|
|
Releases are versioned by the date on which they were made (as per UTC).
|
|
|
|
