Problem Description

I'm using Electron for the scene below: "cloud rendering"

Run a electron instance for a WebGL page, and inject a WebRTC client into the page, then the WebGL rendering result can be lively encoded to video stream, and streaming to a client chrome page.

However, i need to let client's user input events to be remote sent back to server-side electron window instance, but i found Electron's BrowserWindow doesn't provide such api.

Proposed Solution

Add user input events inject api to Browser, such as BrowserWindow.sendInputEvent( event ); to support pass in raw touch{begin/move/end} or mouse{down/move/up} events...

Alternatives Considered

If no such convenient apis, i had to use OS-specific way to do this, which is under investigation now...

Additional Information

No response

Can't you use IPC for this?

[chenzx]

IPC should be possible, since input events in chromium is sent by IPC, but it's usually sent from browser main window to renderer process, not from external to browser window?

win.webContents.sendInputEvent(inputEvent)?
