Use Electron, NodeJs API

🚨 By default, Electron don't support the use of API related to Electron and NoeJs in the Renderer-process, but someone still need to use it. If so, you can see the 👉 npm-package vitejs-plugin-electron or another template vite-webpack-electron

All Electron, NodeJs API invoke passed Preload-script

• src/preload/index.ts

  // --------- Expose some API to Renderer process. ---------
  contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('fs', fs)
  contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('ipcRenderer', ipcRenderer)

• src/renderer/src/main.ts

  console.log('fs', window.fs)
  console.log('ipcRenderer', window.ipcRenderer)
