Open Window

Open a Gluon window.

Gluon.open allows you to easily open a new Gluon window.

Arguments

The main argument to open is the URL of the website to open the window with.

There are extra optional options you can use when opening a window, provided as an object:

onLoad - a function to evaluate in the website once it’s loaded
forceBrowser - force Gluon to use the provided browser instead of automatically finding and using one (not recommended), use chrome/edge/firefox/firefox_nightly/etc
forceEngine - force Gluon to only use the provided browser engine (chromium/firefox)
windowSize - size of the window to open as [width, height]
allowHTTP - opt-in to allowing HTTP (completely disabled by default), options:
- false - HTTP is completely disabled (default)
- mixed - Allow mixed content (but not as the window URL itself). Not recommended.
- true - HTTP is completely allowed. Not recommended.
allowRedirects - choose what redirects should be allowed (not ignored), options:
- false - No redirects are allowed
- same-origin - Only redirects to the same origin are allowed (default)
- true - All redirects are allowed. Not recommended.
