SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Electron app backends often grow in complexity as modules are added. This guide provides a layered Repository-Service-IPC architecture and clear patterns for module creation, data access, error handling, and security to keep backend code maintainable and scalable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered architecture: Repository → Service → IPC → Frontend, ensuring single responsibility and clean boundaries.
  • Module onboarding workflow: steps to add a new backend module, including type definitions, repository, service, and IPC integration.
  • Error handling & security: standardized error patterns, safe DB access, and consistent IPC channels for robust production apps.

Quick Start

Create a new backend module following the backend-architecture pattern: define shared types, implement a repository and a service, register it with the ServiceManager, and wire IPC channels for frontend access.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure an Electron main process backend to keep modules maintainable?

Structure an Electron main process backend using a layered Repository-Service-IPC pattern. This separates data access, business logic, and frontend communication to enforce single responsibility and clean module boundaries.

What is the best way to add a new backend module to an Electron app?

Add a new Electron backend module by defining shared types, implementing a repository and service class, registering it with the ServiceManager, and wiring IPC channels for frontend access.

How does the Repository-Service-IPC pattern work in Electron applications?

The Repository-Service-IPC pattern works by routing data persistence through Repositories, business logic through Services, and frontend requests through standardized IPC channels, ensuring clean boundaries across the Electron backend.

How do I handle errors and security in an Electron backend architecture?

Handle errors and security in an Electron backend by applying standardized error patterns, safe database access methods, and consistent IPC channel conventions across all modules.

Can I use this layered architecture pattern for large Electron apps?

Yes, this layered architecture is designed for Electron apps that grow in complexity. The standardized BaseRepository and BaseService class patterns ensure backend code remains scalable as new modules are added.

When do I need a standardized IPC channel convention for Electron backend modules?

You need standardized IPC channel conventions when wiring frontend access to backend services. Consistent channels enforce robust production security and prevent communication errors across Electron modules.
