Loading preload script in Electron and Vue

Question

I am using Vue CLI 3 and vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder to package my Vue Electron app and I am not able to get my preload.js script for electron working.

Answer 1

The solution was more simple than expected. Imports work in window.onload event.

window.onload = () => {
  const { dialog } = require("electron").remote;

  window.electron = {};
  window.electron.dialog = dialog; // now set properly
};
