Currently,
IpcMain
can only send IPC messages toBrowserWindow
s, because theSend
method'sbrowserWindow
parameter is strongly typed toBrowserWindow
. This PR overloads theSend
method to accept aBrowserView
as well, emitting thesendToIpcRendererBrowserView
socket message with the same implementation. The host receives this message inipc.ts
, locates theBrowserView
with the given ID from the globalbrowserViews
array created inbrowserView.ts
, and sends the IPC message to itswebContents
.
