Use X11 in electron ?

[monok-o]

Hello,
I would want to try to integrate a native application Linux into a window made with electron.
I thus turned to your library but I do not too much know how to take myself there.

Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad English.

yes, should be possible

depends on type of integration you want. It's relatively easy to use it for external integration ( communicate using EWMH, use clipboard / window selections etc ). Probably not so easy to interact with controls inside electron web view ( most of them windowless and handled completely by chrome rendering engine and not X11 )

have a look at https://github.com/ElessarWebb/positron-bar

If you want full control over the native application you want to integrate, want a fully seamless look, and want things like no window decorations around the native app and perfect window dragging in unison, you’ll want your Electron app to act as a window manager, and run both apps inside a Xephyr or xf86-video-nested window.

exactly,
currently I'm trying to do a desktop environment with electron and I want to integrate a custom window manager that can display a linux application in HTML content
For the development I use Xhephyr

Check out the window manager examples in this repo's README as a starting point. That and the Xlib manual should be enough to get started. This is definitely possible with node-x11; at a previous job I've done it (unfortunately not open sourced).
