Be aware

🚨 By default, this template integrates Node.js in the Renderer process. If you don't need it, you just remove the option below. Because it will modify the default config of Vite.

# vite.config.ts

export default {
  plugins: [
-   // Use Node.js API in the Renderer-process
-   renderer({
-     nodeIntegration: true,
-   }),
  ],
}
