How to import the electron ipcRenderer in a react / webpack 2 setup

Question

using a electron, react (es6 / jsx), sass, pouchdb and webpack 2 setup. I fail to import or require ipcRenderer to make communication between main and renderer process possible. My setup can be found here: https://github.com/wende60/timeTracker

Any hints how to get the ipcRenderer into a react component?

Cheers, jo

Answer 1

const electron = window.require('electron');
const ipcRenderer  = electron.ipcRenderer;

I think it is the better solution because it avoid ejecting the React app.
