Description

There is no API to destroy a menubar instance. I'm implementing a feature in my application which will allow the end-users to run their Electron app in a tray or a window, but there is no mechanism to tear-down a menubar.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

  1. Create a menubar
  2. Destroy Window Reference
  3. Error: Object has been destroyed: at Menubar.<anonymous> (my-app/node_modules/menubar/lib/Menubar.js:311:72)

Expected Behaviour

I'd like for the menubar instance to have a teardown function

Actual Behaviour

There is no API to support this

Specifications

  • Menubar version: 6.0.8
  • Platform: Mac
  • Electron version: 7.1.9
