How to add custom property on electron js browsel window?

I tried adding a custom property on the main browser window, but when tried to access i am just getting undefined.

Upon the creation of the main window I add a custom property.

let win = new electron.BrowserWindow();
win.sampleProperty = 'sample value';

But when accessing it cant retrieve the value of the sampleProperty.

let bw = browserWindow.getFocusedWindow();
console.log(bw.sampleProperty) // This is undefined

I'd used the getFocusedWindow() because it will be triggered on menu click.

What I am missing here why bw.sampleProperty is undefined.

Thanks.

I just end app adding the property to the browserWindowOptions

This is how to do it:

Upon on creation of the browserWindow just add your property on the constructor.

let win = new electron.BrowserWindow({
  show: false,
  customProperty: 'sample' // And here it is.
});

Then you can access it on the browserWindowOptions

let customProp = BrowserWindow.getFocusedWindow()
                 .webContents
                 .browserWindowOptions.customProperty;
