Possible to connect into an Electron compiled app instead of a Chromium based browser?

[Bolado]

Rod Version: v0.99.0

The code to demonstrate your question

browser := rod.New()
launcher := launcher.New().Bin(execPath + "\\bin\\electronapp\\App.exe")

What have you tried to solve the question

I have seen it being done in some other libs, but I would like to know if it's possible on Rod, it's good to know because the motivation of it being supported is quite nice.

In comparison with the full-featured Chromium browser (~108MB Mac, ~113MB Linux, ~141MB Win for ZIP package), A portable alternative ------ Electron is able to handle most daily tasks but has half of Chromium's size (~55MB Mac, ~63MB Linux, ~58MB Win for ZIP package)

According to here: https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/command-line-switches#--remote-debugging-portport

const { app } = require('electron')
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('remote-debugging-port', '8315')

app.whenReady().then(() => {
  // Your code here
})

Use rod to connect to the port:

u := launcher.MustResolveURL("8315")
browser := rod.New().ControlURL(u).MustConnect()
