[Sending IPC events from main to renderer in Electron] (http://stackoverflow.com/a/36809014/3697757) #tags: electron,lepton

IPC_electron.js

// To send events to particular window you can use webContents.send(EVENT_NAME, ARGS) (see docs).  webContents is a property of a window instance:

// main process
storeWindow.webContents.send('store-data', store);
// To listen for this event being sent, you need a listener in a window process (renderer):

// renderer process
// ipcRenderer is provided by electron package. You can import it like this: var ipcRenderer = require('electron').ipcRenderer; or es6 import { ipcRenderer } from 'electron';
import { ipcRenderer } from 'electron';
ipcRenderer.on('store-data', function (store) {
    console.log(store);
});

// unregister the listener
ipcRenderer.removeAllListeners('store-data');
