Electronjs window.require not a function

问题

I'm using create-react-app (react-scripts v3.0.0) and electronjs (v5.0.1). I'm trying to pass events from the renderer to main process using the 'icpMain' module as described here, but get the error window.require is not a function for the line

const { ipcRenderer } = window.require('electron');

How can I get require into the global scope in the renderer process? Or is there another way of communicating between the main and renderer process?

Edit:

I've tried removing the react build entirely and get the same results simply using the electron example code in index.html.

回答1:

It looks like adding the preference:

var mainWindow = new electron.BrowserWindow({
  ...
  webPreferences: {
    nodeIntegration: true,
  }
});

is needed to enable require in the renderer process.

回答2:

Indeed, you have to set nodeIntegration to true in your BrowserWindow webPreferences since the version 5.0.0 the default values of nodeIntegration and webviewTag are false to improve security. Electron associated PR: 16235
