electron-ipc-mock

Mock Communication for Electron's IPC

An API mimicking Electron's ipcMain and ipcRenderer. Swap out electron calls in your code in tests to access both mock renderer and main process IPC communication calls.

Install

npm install electron-ipc-mock

Usage

const { ipcRenderer, ipcMain } = require('electron-ipc-mock')();

ipcMain.on('request', function (e, ...args) {
  console.log(args[0]); // 'hello'
  e.sender.send('response', 'world');
});

ipcRenderer.on('response', function (e, ...args) {
  console.log(args[0]); // 'world'
});

ipcRenderer.send('request', 'hello')
