electron-events
Provide a cross process event communication system for Electron.
Install
# use npm
npm install electron-events
# or use yarn
yarn add electron-eventsUsage
Add the window module to the event system in the main process:
import { useEvents } from 'electron-events';
const events = useEvents('browser');
const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow();
events.addWindow(
/* The name here will be used later to specify the target or recipient of the event triggered. */
'app',
mainWindow
);Now you don't have to care about the process, just communicate events based on the name of the window:
// Renderer
import { useEvents } from 'electron-events';
const events = useEvents();
events.on('main' /* Name of the main process */, 'say_hi', text => {
console.log(text);
});
// Main
import { useEvents } from 'electron-events';
const events = useEvents();
events.emitTo('app', 'say_hi', 'Hello World!');As you can see, event can be sent and received in either the main process or the renderer process.
