How to use sqlite3 module with electron?

Question

I want to develop desktop app using electron that uses sqlite3 package installed via npm with the command

npm install --save sqlite3

but it

Answer 1

npm install --save sqlite3
npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild

Then, in the scripts of your package.json, add this line:

"scripts": {
  "postinstall": "electron-rebuild",
  ...
},

Then just re-install to trigger the post-install:

npm install

Works flawlessly for me in a complex use case also involving electron-builder, electron-webpack and sequelize.

It works in electron-webpack's dev mode and in production mode for both Windows and Linux.
