Answer 1

Remote is great way to share data. Using global variables and share them with other pages of our electron application. So, based on the following IPC approach, I was able to manage it this way :

1) Add this code in the main.js file :

   global.MyGlobalObject = {
      variable_1: '12345'
   }

2) Use this on your 1st page to update global variable value :

require('electron').remote.getGlobal('MyGlobalObject').variable_1= '4567'

3) Lastly, use something like this on your 2nd page where you'll access the modified global variable and print it :

console.log(require('electron').remote.getGlobal('MyGlobalObject').variable_1)

You can find the same thing in electron's documentation.
