Feature request : Add APIs for interprocess communication

[kousiksatish]

Expected Behavior
I want to launch neutralino js application along side our current application as a child process. To communicate from my main process to neutralino js application, we need IPC capabilities.

My suggestion for IPC is to enable APIs to create a TCP server on some free port in the PC. Other applications can connect to this port and send/receive messages. APIs similar to net module of nodejs should be good for this.

This will enable people like me who wish to launch neutralinojs app as a addon to their existing app.

Actual Behavior
No way to establish IPC currently. Can work only as a standalone application and cannot coexist with other desktop app.

Hey.. Thanks for reporting this. This missing feature you've mentioned is recently solved by API extensions implementation. You can check some intro here: https://github.com/neutralinojs/neutralinojs/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#core-community-driver-processes . We'll add more details soon to documentation after the next release.

@shalithasuranga Can you please clarify how the client can receive data back from an extension?
