      Update recommended version to Node.js 18 (#1117) · c1af40ff
      Jed Fox authored
      After #1115, new Node.js versions will be able to be used for
      development of the frontend. This PR changes the recommended Node.js
      version to 18 (the current LTS version). I have also tested with 16 and
      20 and it works.
      
      I also took the opportunity to:
      
      - move the build script that was at the project root to the `bin/`
      folder
      - update the `browserslist` to target Electron 24 (which is the version
      we currently build against). This results in a slightly smaller bundle
      due to no longer having to transpile optional chaining.

      Fix electron app (#1003) · 461132b9
      Shazib Hussain authored
      
      Updates to the latest version of electron and moves the backend-frontend
      communication from node-ipc to websockets. This resolves the previous
      roadblock regarding `nodeIntegration` .
      
      Done
      
      - Remove node-ipc in favour of websockets. 
      - Move file copying out of `preload.js` to avoid importing module `fs`
      there
      - Bump all electron pacakge versions to the latest
      - Added new package for finding open ports as node-ipc is gone
      - Tweaked webpack config for above changes
      
      
      Partially fixes #468
      
      Questions/ Pending:
      - Literally every single test fails for me, presumably some issue with
      my setup/environment.
      - The websocket communication is not using TLS. I'm not sure how to
      enable this, or if we even need to as its all local.
      - Still need to create the CI for building/deploying but I'm not sure
      where start in this regard as i have no exp with it. Presumably we will
      need to point the electron auto-updater to the github releases url's. If
      people are happy with this PR I will look at adding the CI before its
      merged.
      - In dev mode only, I have disabled TLS security becuase my docker
      container's cert is not signed. I _assume_ this will be true for other
      people who spin up the server on thier own hardware. Perhaps I just need
      to change my cert to one from letsencrypt or something...
      
      Notes.
      I have not touched javascript in eons so my apologies if the commit
      trail is a bit fragmented. I tried to keep them fairly contained and
      then there is a slightly gnarly final commit fixing all the linter
      issues... Please let me know if you want me to squash some commits etc.
      
      I initially tried to move this to web workers the same way the web app
      does it but this was unsuccessful. I have found no way to spin up a
      worker in one place (frontend/backend) and then pass this worker to the
      other. The electron ipc channels don't allow you to directly pass
      objects such as workers, everything is cloned/serialised. Passing a port
      number so the other end can spin up its own socket works fine.
