I have a question. I want to start the electron program on the backend and then start a local web service. Can this web service use this library to communicate with the electron program through IPC?

This is a mock library. Of course, you can use it on your web service, but this can't communicate with the backed service. What is your purpose?

I want electron to open a web server, this web can use IPC to communicate with electron. But I ended up using https for communication.

thank you for your reply.

It can be archived using IPC or HTTP, but this library is irrelevant. This is a mock library and is used when mocking IPC in tests.
