how to use node module

[leovictor]

I'm trying to use a node module (iohook) but appears the message: Cannot find module 'iohook'. Is it possible to use node module with electron.net?

Hello Gregor,
What is the solution for this ? If I want to use iohook package to be added in my electronize build, then what should I do ?

Thanks in advance..

Hi @sachin-devitpl

the HostHook API allows you to execute your own JavaScript/TypeScript code on the host process.

Create first an ElectronHostHook directory via the Electron.NET CLI, with the following command: electronize add hosthook.

In this directory you can install any NPM packages and embed your own JavaScript/TypeScript code. It is also possible to respond to events from the host process.

You find the sample source code in ours Demo-App (ElectronNET.WebApp) Controllers\HostHookController.cs and in the ElectronHostHook folder.

Cheers,
Gregor
