electron-ipc-promises (0.0.3)

Electron's IPC with Promises:

Main Process:

import ipc from "electron-ipc-promises"

ipc.main.on("add-sync", num => {
    return num + 1
})

ipc.main.on("add-async", num => {
    return new Promise(resolve => {
        setTimeout(() => {
            resolve(num + 1)
        }, 2000)
    })
})

Renderer Process:

import ipc from "electron-ipc-promises"

ipc.renderer.send("add-sync", 3)
.then(result => {
    console.log(result) // 4
})

ipc.renderer.send("add-async", 3)
.then(result => {
    console.log(result) // 4 after 2 seconds
})

Same thing goes the other way around too (from main to renderer).
