04 - Electronjs contextBridge and how to use main process functions inside renderer

[@decepi]

My friend, after hours fighting to get this working tonight, and getting about ready to just build this app in something else, you saved the day with a clear example of HOW and WHY to setup each part. THANK YOU!

[@amitavroydev]

Glad I could help

[@rarsa8375]

Excellent video, thank you

[@amitavroydev]

Glad you liked it!

[@hyperv4758]

Good video,
but
I think the whole point of contextBrige and IPC is to keep nodeIntegration : False

[@amitavroydev]

Is that so? Then how will the integration work?
Will you be able to guide to a resource for the same?

[@karanxdev]

yes you are right , i will explain how to do this

[@SinhtUpthereal]

i followd exactly ur instructions but it is not working for me i get following error message "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: electron is undefined"

[@amitavroydev]

Check if your imports are correct. How can electron be undefined.

[@johnsonare6452]

I am getting the same error, how did you solve it please

[@adesupriyadi5844]

same with me. inside devTools when typing window.electron its undefined

[@harikrishnabomen8650]

without running build and npm run start how it is updating

[@amitavroydev]

In dev mode it runs through a server. And on prod it's a build

@@amitavroydev how to that can you tellme

[@francislainycampos2035]

@@ritikjain4947 I was struggling with this also, but I've just managed to get it working by having pathname back to './index.html.' and mainWindow.loadUrl() back to use 'localhost:3000'. Not sure if it's the best way, though, as I now have the lines I'm not using for the build step commented out and manually uncomment them and comment these ones for localhost whenever I need the build command to work again.
