require or import statement don't work in "renderer.ts"

require or import statement doesn't work in "renderer.ts"

Is this feature missing?

How do you divide the code into modules if the renderer needs to import stuff from a lib?

Thanks.

Hey @serge-hulne, this quick-start has nodeIntegration disabled, so Node is not exposed to the renderer process. This is a default that's there for security purposes.

To enable Node integration, you can modify the mainWindow constructor in main.ts:

 // Create the browser window.
  const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    height: 600,
    webPreferences: {
      preload: path.join(__dirname, "preload.js"),
      nodeIntegration: true,
    },
    width: 800,
  });

Thanks,
But now I'm getting the error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: exports is not defined
