To securely add Electron IPC channels, define them in a centralized `ipc-schema.ts` file for type inference, implement handlers in `main/ipc.ts`, and expose them via `preload/index.ts`. This enforces type safety and standardized procedures.
Zod runtime validation for Electron IPC uses `safeParse` to validate external data like plists before processing. This ensures incoming data matches expected schemas, preventing type errors and enhancing application security.
The best way to handle IPC return types and errors is to enforce specific return types based on channel function and use a wrapper for automatic try/catch. This approach logs errors and provides consistent error responses.
Date objects need serialization in Electron IPC channels because the IPC protocol cannot clone raw Date objects. Serializing Date objects to ISO strings ensures data integrity and prevents transfer errors between processes.
To prevent direct `window.electronAPI` calls from the renderer process, mandate the use of hook-based access. This enforces renderer access control, ensuring maintainability and strict type safety across your application.
