How to find if Electron app is a MAC or MAS Build?

Is there a way to have an is-MAS for Mac Store builds in Electron? I tried looking through the package.json or even a build flag but no luck as of yet. I want to be able to have conditional content that's based on where the user downloads an electron app (Mac Store, Website, etc.).

Thanks in Advance

You can use the process.mas property at run time to test whether an app has been specifically built for the Mac App Store:

process.mas Readonly

A Boolean. For Mac App Store build, this property is true, for other builds it is undefined.

So, a simple isMAS function could be defined as:

function isMAS()
{
    return process.mas || false;
}
