This package contains the preload script that bridges the communication between the Electron main process and renderer process. It exposes safe APIs to the frontend through Electron's contextBridge.

Features

Safe IPC communication between main and renderer processes
Type-safe API definitions
Centralized preload logic for better maintainability
Optimized build with esbuild

Usage

In your Electron main process:

import { join } from "path";
import { BrowserWindow } from "electron";

const win = new BrowserWindow({
  webPreferences: {
    nodeIntegration: false,
    contextIsolation: true,
    preload: join(
      __dirname,
      "../node_modules/@mediago/electron-preload/dist/preload.js",
    ),
  },
});
