Add menubar to existing electron app

How to add menubar to an existing app

I created a boilerplate electron app with the default main.js code like this:

const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
const path = require('path')

function createWindow() {
    const win = new BrowserWindow({
        width: 800,
        height: 600,
        webPreferences: {
            preload: path.join(path.resolve(), 'preload.js')
        }
    })

    win.loadFile('dist/index.html')
}

app.whenReady().then(() => {
    createWindow()

    app.on('activate', () => {
        if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) {
            createWindow()
        }
    })
})

app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
    if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
        app.quit()
    }
})

How do I add menubar to this so my app shows when clicking a toolbar icon. I understand that you can pass some BrowserWindow options directly to menubar, but I don't understand the overlap here, I guess.

I got this figured out. For my specific situation, I was loading the index.html out of the dist folder. In order to make this work with menubar, I just had to pass in the dir parameter:

const mb = menubar({
    dir: path.resolve(__dirname, './dist/')
})
