@msudgh nodeIntegration is turned off by default in 5, so you'll need to enable it via:

const { BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
let win = new BrowserWindow({
  webPreferences: {
    nodeIntegration: true
  }
})

which we caution against, or add it via preload script.

@codebytere Thanks. it'd be better to update docs. this functionality existed in previous versions.

@msudgh this information was presented both in release notes and in breaking change documentation leading up to and including the stable release :)

Where to add this above code?

In your electron apps main.js file, check the project package.json file -- the "main" parameter shows the files path
