FAQPage Schema
How do I structure an Electron desktop app architecture for scalability?▼

Electron desktop app architecture should separate main-process controllers, IPC service handlers, and preload scripts to ensure scalable and secure window management across renderer processes.

How do I add a new desktop feature in Electron using IPC and controllers?▼

To add a new desktop feature in Electron, implement a main-process controller, wire an IPC service handler, expose APIs via the preload script, and add renderer service calls following structured guidelines.

What's the best way to manage multiple windows in an Electron application?▼

Window management in Electron is best handled through dedicated main-process controllers that encapsulate window lifecycle logic, paired with IPC handlers to communicate window state changes to the renderer.

How do preload scripts work with IPC handlers in Electron?▼

Preload scripts in Electron act as a secure bridge, exposing specific IPC channels from the main process to the renderer, ensuring that controllers and services communicate without compromising context isolation.

Do I need to follow a specific controller pattern for Electron menu configuration?▼

Electron menu configuration requires a structured controller pattern where main-process controllers define menu items and route click events through IPC handlers to trigger services in the renderer.
