install nvm UNIX https://github.com/creationix/nvm Windows https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows
nvm install 6.12.0
nvm alias default 6.12.0
Then source or reopen all terminals. npm --version should now return 6.12.0
Now install a recent version of NPM globally.

$ npm install --save-dev devtron
// After starting the Electron app in dev mode, run the following from the Console tab:
require('devtron').install() // You should now see a Devtron tab added to the DevTools
IPC
- message-like interface
- how does it work under the hood? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe](named pipes)
- values must be serializable, meaning must be able to JSON.stringify(value)
REMOTE
- values must be serializable, meaning must be able to JSON.stringify(value)
- the built-in remote module is synchronous and may be blocking to the UI until method completes
- use https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-remote whenever possible
- modules can be written for consumption in either process
example shared module
const electron = require('electron');
const foo = electron.foo || electron.remote.foo;
// now you can use module in either main or renderer process
console.log(foo);
- renderer process task pool that will split and balance a job across multiple processes
- library for promise-like background processes that auto-scale based on usage https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-remote
- coming soon
