3 years ago I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Electron and don't know if I can provide much help. However, pigpio is a native Node module and special steps need to be taken when installing native Node modules with Electron. For additional information see here.
Config: Raspberry pi 4B, Pi OS, tested with node 11 to 14.17.0 (currently 14.17.0.) getting same version with node -v and sudo node -v, pigpio uninstalled and installed with apt-get, then nvm install, in the right order, also did npm rebuild and finally tried to install using wget from https://github.com/joan2937/pigpio/archive/master.zip
HELP! I developed several little programs with pigpio a few months ago using node & electron. They worked fine. Last week, I tried to execute them again and systematically got (and am still getting) the error below. I have read and followed the instructions of dozens of posts on this topic, to no avail. Unfortunately, I have done so many installs and upgrades on this Pi in the last months to set it up for my needs that it is not possible to determine what broke pigpio and I would really not like to start again from a clean install of Pi OS. I am at a loss so I'll be very grateful for any help. S.

Invoking require('bindings')('pigpio.node') resulted in the follwoing error:
