Change Electron's menu item's status dynamically

I have fixed this by setting an Id to the menu item,

{ label: "Show Colors",  
        id: 'color-scale',
        accelerator: 'CmdOrCtrl+1', 
        enabled: getStatus(),
        click() {getWebviewWebContents().send('switchToColors');} 
 },

and getting the menu item with:

myItem = menu.getMenuItemById('color-scale')

Then, when I need to enable/disable it programmatically, I am using:

myItem.enabled = true

or

myItem.enabled = false
