❤️ easily sharing state across electron main and renderer processes.

Hi there 👋

electron-shared-state's Issues

State is not synced with main/renderer after creation

Just add

store.setState(state => {
  state.count = 2000;
});

to your example/main.js

It will look like that

When you run your example you will find that renderer will show 0 instead of 2000.

It looks like you need to get the current state during store creation.

Requiering `dist/index.cjs.js` result in error "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'on')"

Using the latest version in an Electron app (electron-forge with webpack). If I import the library it works fine. But I also have to require it in main.js, since it is Common JS, and that results in the above error.

Since one uses the dist/index.mjs.js file and the other the dist/index.cjs.js I suspect something with how the latter is built is amiss.

It could conceivably also be how my project builds, but I donät think so since the error points straight to the file in node_modules.

I could also solve the problem by converting the project to mjs, but I tried that and got stuck 🙂 Too bad that the boilerplate is still in cjs ...

Multiple stores?

It looks like this module only allows you to create one shared store.

I have different states that I need to share between different windows. For instance, Store A needs to be shared between Main and Window 1, while Store B needs to be shared between Main, Window 1, and Window 2.

Would you be open to a pull request which adds the ability to create multiple named stores? Offhand, it might look like this:

const sharedStoreA = createSharedStore(initialStateA, 'store_a')
const sharedStoreB = createSharedStore(initialStateB, 'store_b')

Then we might append this name onto the INTERNAL_CHANNEL value so that the IPC listeners would just listen/send on different channels for the different stores. If someone didn't give a storeName value, then we would fall back to the current functionality.
