Let's see the IPC in action with a React component:main.js

main.js

//write this below the app.whenReady() function in the main.js file

ipcMain.on('anything-asynchronous', (event, arg) => {
    // gets triggered by the async button defined in the App component
    console.log("async",arg) // prints "async ping"
})

// gets triggered by the sync button defined in the App component
ipcMain.on('anything-synchronous', (event, arg) => {
    console.log("sync",arg) // prints "sync ping"
})
