Electron support/tutorial

[ramilmsh]

I am trying to integrate rosnodejs into my electron app, however, I've run into a few problems:

1. I tried importing it into the renderer directly, it failed due to process.env on renderer being void of environment variables. I have made changes accordingly, but the massages ended up empty, due to some serialization error, at which point I gave up

2. I tried to load the library on the main process side, however, when I try to publish, I get Error: Cannot find module '/opt/ros/kinetic/share/gennodejs/ros/std_msgs/_index.js' (ros is installed, and sourced, and the file most definitely exists).

I was wondering, if it is possible/practical to try and use rosnodejs with electron, and, if so, are there any additional configuration steps?

Unfortunately I don't have any recommendations if these errors are specific to use with electron. I've used the two together but it's been a few years and I don't have any of the code from then.
