* feat: add support for node / preloads in subframes This feature has delibrately been built / implemented in such a way that it has minimum impact on existing apps / code-paths. Without enabling the new "nodeSupportInSubFrames" option basically none of this new code will be hit. The things that I believe need extra scrutiny are: * Introduction of `event.reply` for IPC events and usage of `event.reply` instead of `event.sender.send()` * Usage of `node::FreeEnvironment(env)` when the new option is enabled in order to avoid memory leaks. I have tested this quite a bit and haven't managed to cause a crash but it is still feature flagged behind the "nodeSupportInSubFrames" flag to avoid potential impact. Closes #10569 Closes #10401 Closes #11868 Closes #12505 Closes #14035 * feat: add support preloads in subframes for sandboxed renderers * spec: add tests for new nodeSupportInSubFrames option * spec: fix specs for .reply and ._replyInternal for internal messages * chore: revert change to use flag instead of environment set size * chore: clean up subframe impl * chore: apply suggestions from code review Co-Authored-By: MarshallOfSound <samuel.r.attard@gmail.com> * chore: clean up reply usage * chore: fix TS docs generation * chore: cleanup after rebase * chore: rename wrap to add in event fns |

The Electron framework lets you write cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. It is based on Node.js and Chromium and is used by the Atom editor and many other apps.

Installation
To install prebuilt Electron binaries, use npm.
The preferred method is to install Electron as a development dependency in your
app:
npm install electron --save-dev [--save-exact]
The --save-exact flag is recommended for Electron prior to version 2, as it does not follow semantic
versioning. As of version 2.0.0, Electron follows semver, so you don't need --save-exact flag. For info on how to manage Electron versions in your apps, see
Electron versioning.
For more installation options and troubleshooting tips, see installation.
Quick start & Electron Fiddle
Use Electron Fiddle
to build, run, and package small Electron experiments, to see code examples for all of Electron's APIs, and
to try out different versions of Electron. It's designed to make the start of your journey with
Electron easier.
Alternatively, clone and run the electron/electron-quick-start repository to see a minimal Electron app in action:
git clone https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start
cd electron-quick-start
npm install
npm start

Programmatic usage
Most people use Electron from the command line, but if you require electron inside
your Node app (not your Electron app) it will return the file path to the
binary. Use this to spawn Electron from Node scripts:
const electron = require('electron')
const proc = require('child_process')
// will print something similar to /Users/maf/.../Electron
console.log(electron)
// spawn Electron
const child = proc.spawn(electron)
