My question is this: Is it possible to call a dialog.showOpenWindow outside the main.js file? I would like to execute a function that when I click on a specific button in my BrowserWindow open the showOpenWindow and return the path of the specified file. I tried doing out of main.js however javascript did not recognize the electron command. Is there any way to do this?

javascript electron

You need to call the dialog using Remote. The remote is just for calling the main features to work inside a Renderer.

I hope I have helped you with your doubts: p

const { remote } = require('electron');
const dialog = remote.dialog;
