Why i cannot quit my node-webkit app - node-webkit

Question

i'm building a node-webkit application i have made a link to quit
<span onClick="func App.quit()" title="Close">X</span>
but when i click it it says
Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
What i am doing wrong here?
i do not understand why i am getting this error
i did added
var gui = require('nw.gui')
gui.quit()
</script>
i have to say in my packjage.js i open a url so all the javascripts are loaded from that url those javascript are not local on my device

Answer 1

The quit API is gui.App.quit() but not gui.quit().
Node-Webkit has 2 JS context, so if you use <script> tag to load JS from remote site, it will run in browser's JS context, as we know, require works in Node.js context. Read this page to get more info.

Answer 2

as tinyproxy already mentioned, use require('nw.gui').App to manage application lifecycle. to minimize window and other window operation as well as listening to window-related events, use require('nw.gui').Window.get() as described here: node-webkit Window. For example, to minimize current window:
var gui = require('nw.gui');
var win = gui.Window.get();
win.minimize();
