Not sure if the high rated answer had been modified mistakenly. The correct logic should be:

const isRenderer = typeof process === 'undefined' || !process || process.type === 'renderer'

This library might help you. It has simple API:

var isRenderer = require('is-electron-renderer')
console.log(isRenderer); //true or false
