SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Electron desktop feature development often involves coordinating main/renderer processes, IPC, and window management, which can become complex and error-prone without a clear pattern.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture and patterns for building desktop features with Electron (main/renderer, IPC, and services)
  • Step-by-step guide to create controllers, define IPC types, implement renderer services, and wire store actions
  • Use cases include adding new desktop features, menu integrations, window lifecycle management, and secure IPC boundaries

Quick Start

Begin by creating a new feature under apps/desktop/src/main/controllers, define IPC types, and implement a corresponding renderer service to expose the feature to the UI.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure main and renderer process communication in Electron?▼

Electron main and renderer communication is structured using controllers, defined IPC types, and renderer services to enforce secure boundaries and streamline cross-process feature development.

What is the best way to organize a new Electron desktop feature?▼

Organize an Electron desktop feature by creating a controller under apps/desktop/src/main/controllers, defining IPC types, implementing renderer services, and wiring store actions.

How does this Electron architecture pattern handle window lifecycle management?▼

Window lifecycle management is handled through standard architecture patterns that coordinate main process controllers and renderer services to manage window creation, updates, and secure closures.

Can I use these IPC patterns for menu integrations in Electron?▼

Yes, these IPC patterns support menu integrations by exposing main process controller logic to the renderer through typed IPC boundaries and dedicated renderer services.

Do I need specific tooling workflows to maintain secure IPC boundaries?▼

Maintaining secure IPC boundaries requires following the standard tooling workflows and architectural patterns provided to coordinate controllers, IPC types, and renderer services correctly.
