electron-transponder

Electron Communicator

An electron router that has a similar interface/usage as an HTTP server, Express, and similar libraries.

Usage

In electron:

import { ipcMain } from 'electron';
import { mainTransponder } from 'electron-transponder';
 
// bootstrap transponder to start listening
const transponder = mainTransponder(ipcMain);
 
// register routes -- works similarly to app.get() or app.post()
transponder.register('GET', 'users', async (req, res) => {
  let users = await getUsers();
 
  res.send(users);
});

In front-end:

import { renderTransponder } from 'electron-transponder';
 
let users = await renderTansponder.request('GET' || requestMethods.GET, 'api/users', {
  organization_id: 3
});
