Electron: Renderer Access To Main Process?

The main process opens a connection to a service, to which a renderer requires access. Is this possible? I've tried declaring global.thing and exports.thing, and having the render

Solution 1:

You can do it in more ways:

1) Communicate between process with ipc and ask data with ipcRenderer.sendSync function, that asks to main process and wait for a return value. https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/ipc-renderer.md

2) use exports in the right way, so:

in the main process:

exports.functionName = functionName;

in the renderer:

var functionName = remote.require('./main').functionName;
