ElectronIpcRenderer.send method

ElectronIpcRenderer › send

Unofficial

Sends an asynchronous message to the main process via channel, along with arguments.

The main process handles it by listening for channel with the ipcMain module. Arguments are serialized with the Structured Clone Algorithm, so prototype chains are not included and sending functions, promises, symbols, weak maps, or weak sets throws an exception.

Signature:

send(channel: string, args?: unknown[]): void

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
channel	string	The IPC channel name.
args?	unknown[]	Arguments to send.

Returns: void
