Passing Data to Windows in Electron

Question

I\'m learning Electron and working with multiple windows and IPC. In my main script I have the following:

var storeWindow = new BrowserWindow({
  width: 400,
  h         


        

Answer 1

To send events to particular window you can use webContents.send(EVENT_NAME, ARGS) (see docs). webContents is a property of a window instance:

// main process
storeWindow.webContents.send('store-data', store);

To listen for this event being sent, you need a listener in a window process (renderer):

// renderer process
var ipcRenderer = require('electron').ipcRenderer;
ipcRenderer.on('store-data', function (event,store) {
    console.log(store);
});
