Debugging Main and Renderer Processes

Ever wondered why your Electron app isn't behaving as expected? Debugging is your superpower! It helps you find and fix issues in your code.

Electron apps have two main types of processes: the Main Process and Renderer Processes. Each needs a different approach to debugging, and we'll cover both!

Think of the Main Process as the brain of your Electron application. It's a Node.js environment that:

• Manages the application's lifecycle (opening, closing).
• Handles native operating system interactions (menus, dialogs).
• Creates and manages renderer processes (your app windows).

Since it's a Node.js environment, we'll debug it like a Node.js application.
