如何将数据从Electron.js应用程序发送到远程服务器/数据库

Question

As the title states, I'm having trouble finding a way to send data from an electron.js app to a remote db/server.

I can use mysql to connect directly with a database but it doesn't strike me as a secure thing to do. I would like to send the data, probably a json string, to a php or js file on a server and handle the validation and database access there.

I'm very new to working with node.js and electron.js but I'm really excited over the possibilities of it.

Answer 1

Have you got a working web server?

I'd recommend express - it's fairly simple to get started. You could define a route that you could post your data to, and then that would in turn add it to the database.

Answer 2

You can make a standard AJAX request from the browserWindow of your Electron app. Please refer to this question:
