I prefer this

// check if app is running inside the electron env or browser
var userAgent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if (userAgent.indexOf(' electron/') == -1) {
  // its not electron
}

if(process.versions.electron != 'undefined' && process.versions.electron != null){
    //Custom event
}

I think is the most standard way of doing this.

Thank you! Can I introduce it inside a onload event? – dani 'SO learn value newbies' Apr 21 '17 at 18:49
@Plasmmer absolutely. This can be put just about anywhere, – Kyle Becker Apr 21 '17 at 18:52
How can I insert a else in this event? – dani 'SO learn value newbies' Apr 21 '17 at 18:57
@Plasmmer `if(process.versions.electron != 'undefined' && process.versions.electron != null){ //Custom event } else{//Do this if not electron}` – Kyle Becker Apr 21 '17 at 18:57
