The electron-nest-rpc module provides a simple way to invoke nest service between the renderer process (web page) and the main process.
import { ApplicationModule } from "./app.module";
import { BrowserWindow } from 'electron';
import { NestFactory } from "@nestjs/core";
import { NestRPC } from 'electron-nest-rpc';
import * as path from 'path';
async function bootstrap() {
const window = new BrowserWindow({
show: true,
width: 966,
height: 647,
minWidth: 966,
minHeight: 647,
titleBarStyle: 'hidden',
});
const nestContext = await NestFactory.createApplicationContext(ApplicationModule);
NestRPC.register(nestContext);
window.loadURL(formatUrl({
pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'index.html'),
protocol: 'file',
slashes: true
}));
}
bootstrap();
import * as React from 'react';
import { nestRPC, RPCException } from 'electron-nest-rpc';
import { UserService } from './services/UserService';
export class TestPage extends React.Component<any> {
private readonly userService: UserService = nestRPC(UserService);
private state = {users: []};
constructor(props: any) {
super(props);
}
async componentDidMount() {
try {
const users = await this.userService.getUsers();
this.setState({users});
} catch (e: RPCException) {
console.log(e.message);
}
}
render() {
const users = this.state.users;
return <ul>
{users.map(user => <li key={user.id}>{user.name}</li>)}
</ul>;
}
}
