Mastering Electron: Build Modern Desktop Apps (2025 Edition)

Explore how Electron's main process manages the application life cycle and coordinates renderer processes, while learning how preload scripts expose safe APIs and IPC enables inter-process communication.

Explore practical implementation of ipc and preload scripts in Electron, showing how main and renderer windows communicate to dynamically set the render window title and call an API.

Integrate a sqlite3 database into the Electron app using IPC and pre-load script, by installing sqlite3, creating a notes table in a notes.db under db folder, migrating from in-memory storage.

Insert notes from an Electron UI into a SQLite database using IPC, including create table if not exists and submit button handling.

Mastering Electron: Read notes operation part I demonstrates fetching notes from a sqlite database and rendering them in the notes interface via ipc between main and render processes.

Learn to package an Electron app into a Windows installable exe using Electron Builder, configure build settings in package.json, create NSIS targets, and resolve packaged path issues for notes.db.

Enable auto updates in electron apps by using electron-updater, configuring publish settings in package.json for GitHub, and releasing updates via GitHub releases.

Learn how to implement auto update with GitHub releases for an Electron app by creating releases, packaging binaries with Electron builder, and configuring versioned updates.
