module.exports = {

    require:require
  }

Currently, User settings are merged in shallow with Node-RED-Desktop default settings.

• Node-RED-Desktop default settings is defined in the code

  node-red-desktop/src/main/node-red.ts

• User's functionGlobalContext is overwritten with the default's one

I will plan to update the specification of user settings ( maybe I will use deep merge...) in next release.
