This desktop development guide helps teams build Electron-based features efficiently by providing architecture patterns, IPC usage, and best practices for window management, preload scripts, and menu configuration.
Follow this instruction to begin: set up a new desktop feature by creating a controller and IPC channel as described, then run the Electron app to validate the implementation.

Electron IPC requires routing cross-process communication through preload scripts and dedicated controllers. This enforces secure messaging by exposing minimal context bridge APIs while keeping business logic isolated in the main process.
An Electron preload script acts as a secure bridge between the main and renderer processes. It safely exposes specific IPC channels and native APIs to the renderer via the context bridge without leaking Node.js primitives to the web view.
Desktop window management and menu configuration are handled in the Electron main process. You define BrowserWindow instances and construct application menus to standardize UI behavior and lifecycle events across typical desktop scenarios.
The best way to structure Electron features is creating dedicated controllers and IPC channels for each domain. This separates business logic from the main process setup, ensuring maintainable and testable cross-process communication.
Yes, the Electron development guide covers testing and UI consistency best practices. It provides architectural patterns and practical code examples to standardize secure IPC, desktop tooling, and feature implementation.
