Realm-js: Error importing realm-js to Electron

[chancethecoder]

I tried import realm-js in my electron app.

at first, i installed and used require('realm') in my javascript code.

but when i started app, error occured like this

App threw an error during load
Error: Cannot find module '/home/youngkyun/git/multipad/node_modules/realm/compiled/electron-v1.4_linux_x64/realm.node'
    at Module._resolveFilename (module.js:455:15)
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/youngkyun/git/multipad/node_modules/electron/dist/resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:35:12)

    at Module.load (module.js:473:32)
    at tryModuleLoad (module.js:432:12)

as you see, log's path is
/home/youngkyun/git/multipad/node_modules/realm/compiled/electron-v1.4_linux_x64/realm.node

and installed path what i found was
/home/youngkyun/git/multipad/node_modules/realm/compiled/node-v51_linux_x64/realm.node

and other test electron apps was same.

i can't figure out what is a problem.

Hi @chancethecoder, just to be clear, we are not officially supporting Electron yet. People have managed to make it work but we haven't put in the work to offer proper support yet. I will look into this when I have some time.

@chancethecoder try to use electron-rebuild to rebuild Realm against the currently installed Electron version.

electron-rebuild -f -w realm

[chancethecoder]

@kristiandupont thank you!

@chancethecoder did you fixed this error with electron-rebuild?

[kristiandupont]

Note that we've seen this problem appear with the newest version of electron-rebuild. It seems that they have fixed it so it shouldn't be a problem for long.

@kristiandupont Thank you!

I have it working in the main process but if you try to access the realm in the renderer process then it will try to look for react-native

:-p

Thank you much for the clarifications.
Have a nice weekend

Realm Studio is an Electron app, and you are welcome to see how we are using Realm JS and Electron together.
