Guide to replace remote module with better writing style

Can there be a guide to teach us how to replace things like remote.getCurrentWindow() to something better?

I can’t find a good article for this, only an article telling remote module should be replaced by something better (https://medium.com/@nornagon/electrons-remote-module-considered-harmful-70d69500f31) which is somehow useless.

And there seem to be no event.sender in ipc.invoke()

ipcMain.handle() does provide the sender. https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/structures/ipc-main-invoke-event

e.g.

ipcMain.handle('my-event', (event) => {
  event.sender // this works :)
})

Is there a safe package to “Passing callbacks to the main process”?

I think I can iterate through the object, replace each object method with a random uuid, and send this object without a callback to the main thread.

And I register IPCRenderer.on(uuid for each object method, and reconstruct the object with callback on the main process, the callback is just IPCMain.invoke(uuid. Is there any existing package to do so?

I think I will use remote module again, I think it is not harmful if you enable all security settings https://github.com/electron/remote/issues/47

Update: I write my own function as descript above to proxy menu item from renderer to the main. The drawback is the callback can’t get the webContent and ElectronEvent instance on the renderer. But this allows dynamic content to add custom menu items with callback.
