How to use realm on an electron app?

ERROR in ./~/realm/lib/browser/index.js

Not rewriting GET /dist/bundle.js because the path includes a dot (.) character.

I want to use realm on an electron app with Node 6, and I used the code below but it doesn’t work and the error imformation is above.

const Realm = require('realm')
let realm = new Realm({
  schema: [
    {
      name: 'LogItem',
      properties: {
        time: 'date',
        percent: 'double'
      }
    }
  ]
})
realm.write(() => {
  realm.create('Log', {
    time: new Date(),
    percent: 90.00
  })
})

@kneth Thanks again for your prompt response.

As it turns out - my attempt to use create-react-app with electron and realm was a fools errand. The build process for CRA is not compatible with the use of native node modules without ejecting and futzing around with millions of things.

For anyone else wishing to use electron/react/typescript/realm - the simplest way to get started is to use electron-forge and the react/typescript template, then add the realm npm package / import realm. Couldn’t be simpler really.

npm install -g electron-forge electron-forge init my-new-project --template=react-typescript cd my-new-project npm install realm

Hope this helps someone 😃
