Is it possible to use Electron in web application

Question

I started to learn Electron and have one question:
Is it possible to use Electron's code in a web application only in the case when application was loaded by Electron from local folder?

win.loadURL('file://' + __dirname + '/app/index.html');

Is it not possible to use electron in web application's java script files if application was loaded to BrowserWindow from external web server?

win.loadURL('http://localhost:9000');

Answer 1

You can use webview to load external web content.

It is similar to iframe with the difference that it runs in a seperate process than your app and it doesn't have the same permissions as your app, to keep your app safe from the embedded content.
