Question

Answer 1

Use app.getAppPath()

Typescript is a superset of javascript so you could do it in the same way you would do it with javascript, though you may want to declare typings, or use other typescript features when you do so.

Example:

const remote = require('remote'), 
      app = remote.require('app');

var basepath = app.getAppPath();

Update - these days you should use:

const app = require('electron').remote.app

To get the app handle for app.getAppPath().
