How do i use mongodb with electron?
This is an electron app for MongoDB management, you can check the code as an example on how to use mongodb and electron.
https://github.com/officert/mongotron
Basically you can use mongodb as you would normally use in node.js in the Main process and then communicate with Renderer process through the ipc module.
For example:
Renderer process
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<script>
const ipc = require('electron').ipcRenderer;
const informationBtn = document.getElementById('information-dialog')
informationBtn.addEventListener('click', function (event) {
ipc.send('create-user')
})
</script>
</body>
<html>
Main process
const ipc = require('electron').ipcMain
const mongo = require('some-mongo-module')
ipc.on('create-user', function (event) {
/* MONGODB CODE */
})
I would recommend you to use the get started app that you can find in http://electron.atom.io/
