I got the project building and running. This seems like a nice approach. Wonder what your workflow is for editing code and seeing changes. Code changes in angular and code changes in the electron area...

The repo download worked great, but when I tried to copy this process into my electron 5.0.0 project this line fails:

this.ipc = (<any>window).require("electron").ipcRenderer;

Is there some updated way to get a reference to the ipcRenderer from inside Angular?

I have just cloned the repo and run npm install
.
I run npm run electron
and after this 'npm test'

So the Karma will fail, because ipc is not defined.
