# electron-function-ipc

## Usage

```js

// main process

const ipcMain = require('electron-function-ipc/main.js')

ipcMain.on('123', async function (e, rendererCallback) {

  console.log(rendererCallback.toString())

  console.log(rendererCallback.name)

  const returnFunction = await rendererCallback(function mainCallback(s) {

    console.log(s)

    throw new TypeError(s)

    // return s

  }) // return Promise

  console.log(returnFunction.toString())

  console.log(returnFunction.name)

  const obj = await new returnFunction('888')

  console.log(obj.m)

})

```

```js

// renderer process

const ipcRenderer = require('electron-function-ipc/renderer.js')

ipcRenderer.send('123', async function rendererCallback(mainCallback) {

  console.log(mainCallback.toString())

  console.log(mainCallback.name)

  try {

    const s = await mainCallback('666') // return Promise

    console.log(s)

  } catch (err) {

    console.log(err)

  }

  return function returnFunction(a) {

    this.m = a

  }

})

```

## Note

* Function invoked in another process returns promise even if it is not an async function, so you can use async/await syntax.

* Passing es5/es6 class is also ok but method is not supported.

* Function `this` can not be changed by `call()` / `apply()` / `bind()`.
