How do i use mongodb with electron?

This is an electron app for MongoDB management, you can check the code as an example on how to use mongodb and electron.

Basically you can use mongodb as you would normally use in node.js in the Main process and then communicate with Renderer process through the ipc module.

For example:

Renderer process

<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <script>
    const ipc = require('electron').ipcRenderer;
    const informationBtn = document.getElementById('information-dialog')

    informationBtn.addEventListener('click', function (event) {
      ipc.send('create-user')
    })
    </script>
  </body>
<html>

Main process

const ipc = require('electron').ipcMain
const mongo = require('some-mongo-module')

ipc.on('create-user', function (event) {
  /* MONGODB CODE */
})

I would recommend you to use the get started app that you can find in http://electron.atom.io/
