I am trying to create an application using Electron, React and TypeScript (and my idea seems to be a nightmare to me now). I am using electron-prebuilt-compile to transpile my code. My intention is to keep nodeIntegration as false. However, if I do that, it shows me error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined at index.html:inline_0.js:2
I have tried to add a few babel presets but those are not helping me. I have added CommonJS preset as well there. But it still fails.
Reason behind keeping nodeIntegration false is that I do not want it to be accessible in renderer.js because of security hazards it brings with it.
