SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines communication between your Bun backend and webview renderers, ensuring type safety and efficient data exchange for a seamless application experience.

Core Features & Use Cases

Bidirectional Communication: Enables requests (with responses) and fire-and-forget messages between Bun and the webview.
Type Safety: Uses a shared schema definition to prevent runtime errors and ensure data integrity.
Use Case: Imagine a user action in the webview (like clicking a button) that needs to trigger a complex data fetch on the Bun side. This Skill allows the webview to send a request, and Bun to send back the processed data, all with guaranteed type compatibility.

Quick Start

Use the Electrobun RPC skill to send a 'menuAction' message with the action 'file-new' to the renderer.

FAQPage Schema

How do I set up type-safe communication between a Bun backend and a webview?▼

Bidirectional communication between Bun and a webview uses WebSockets with AES-GCM encryption. This mechanism supports both request-response cycles and fire-and-forget messages to handle interactive application workflows.

Can I trigger a data fetch on the Bun side from a webview user action?▼

Yes, the webview can send a request to trigger a complex data fetch on the Bun side. Bun processes the request and sends back the data, all with guaranteed type compatibility through the shared schema.

Does Electrobun RPC support fire-and-forget messaging?▼

Electrobun RPC supports fire-and-forget messaging alongside request-response patterns. You can send messages, such as a 'menuAction' with 'file-new', directly to the renderer without waiting for a response.

How are custom RPC schemas defined for Bun and webview interactions?▼

Custom RPC schemas are defined using a shared schema definition to manage bun-to-renderer and renderer-to-bun interactions. This schema definition prevents runtime errors and ensures type safety across communication channels.
