Simple node module to download the [ChromeDriver](https://sites.google.com/corp/chromium.org/driver/)

version for [Electron](https://electronjs.org).

The major version of this library tracks the major version of the Electron

versions released. So if you are using Electron `2.0.x` you would want to use

an `electron-chromedriver` dependency of `~2.0.0` in your `package.json` file.

This library is used by [spectron](https://github.com/electron/spectron).

## Using

```sh

npm install --save-dev electron-chromedriver

chromedriver -h

```

## Custom Mirror

You can set the `ELECTRON_MIRROR` or [`NPM_CONFIG_ELECTRON_MIRROR`](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/config#environment-variables)

environment variables to use a custom base URL for downloading ChromeDriver zips.

```sh

# Electron mirror for China

ELECTRON_MIRROR="https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/"

# Local mirror

# Example of requested URL: http://localhost:8080/1.2.0/chromedriver-v2.21-darwin-x64.zip

ELECTRON_MIRROR="http://localhost:8080/"

```

## Overriding the version downloaded

The version downloaded can be overriden by setting the `ELECTRON_CUSTOM_VERSION` environment variable.
