Not Working IPC

[Rostov4an1n]

Tell me how you can fix the problem. I created a custom top panel where the close, collapse, expand buttons are located. I want to use the example of the close button to send an IPC, which will close the application when pressed.

But when I tried to download the IPC-communication application template, I was faced with the fact that it does not work.

Can you tell me how to send IPC signals? If you would provide an example of a solution to my problem, then I would be very grateful to you

I saw a Roadmap for future updates of this project, where everything will be fixed. Could you tell me when to expect a future update?

My team and I are also facing the same issue. It would be helpful if we could see a working project

Check out the official Electron examples on IPC communication, specifically this section on communication from the renderer to the main process: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/ipc#pattern-2-renderer-to-main-two-way

Here's the code for it: https://github.com/electron/electron/tree/v27.0.0/docs/fiddles/ipc/pattern-2

That example isn't identical, but it's close: you just need to swap out the logic in the main process where the example opens a native file dialog and instead call app.quit(). The principles are identical though.

Happy to help debug any code either of you have got which isn't working once you get close.

I am importing electron as shown in the example . But I am getting the following error

[abrarabedin001]

here is my background.ts

import { app, ipcMain } from 'electron'
import serve from 'electron-serve'
import { createWindow } from './helpers'

const isProd: boolean = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'

if (isProd) {
  serve({ directory: 'app' })
} else {
  app.setPath('userData', `${app.getPath('userData')} (development)`)
}

; (async () => {
  await app.whenReady()

  const mainWindow = createWindow('main', {
    width: 1000,
    height: 600,
    minWidth: 960,
    minHeight: 600,
  })

  if (isProd) {
    await mainWindow.loadURL('app://./home')
  } else {
    const port = process.argv[2]
    await mainWindow.loadURL(`http://localhost:${port}/home`)
    // mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools()
  }
})()

app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
  app.quit()
})

ipcMain.on('ping-pong', (event, arg) => {
  event.sender.send('ping-pong', `[ipcMain] "${arg}" received asynchronously.`)
})

Maybe https://github.com/saltyshiomix/nextron/issues/396#issuecomment-1756059475 can help. Try change renderer settings

Nextron v8.12.0 is out! Now it supports preload script for secure IPC features :)

If you have time, please try new examples:

npx create-nextron-app test-app --example basic-lang-typescript

[abrarabedin001]

thanks for letting us know. Will check it out soon.

@saltyshiomix Thank you very much for the work done! I was able to positively connect the functions of interaction with the buttons of the upper panel of the application via IPC Electron. If I knew how, I could attach a video video evidence 😁🎉

Check your internet connection (or disable/enable VPN for downloading packets).

The issue Still Persist , Nothing changed.

Here is the Error:

The issue Occur after the import of "IpcRenderer"

Here are my dependencies:

@saltyshiomix Kindly look into this.. I have used the electron-react-boilerplate where they wrap the ipc into some kind of API or simple callback functions. Also doing some communication stuff useing electron-store. But I'm still unable to understand your method for communication. Can you please update some documentation at least for some basic things.
