Cannot read property 'require' of undefined

I am creating an application to use mysql. I want to call a function from the main.js file. This main.js file is the main application file, just like the documentation. I saw an example of how to call this function:

const { remote } = require('electron');
const main = remote.require('./main');
main.saveUser();

But it gives the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'require' of undefined at app.js:4'

I believe it has updated and the way of calling has changed, can someone help me by sending the link to the documentation that talks about, please.

Solution is very easy. Just add webPreferences: {nodeIntegration: true, enableRemoteModule: true} in your BrowserWindow in main.js.

The code look like this:

win = new BrowserWindow({
   width: 990, 
   height: 660,
   title: "Okkhor52 Tools", 
   resizable: false, 
   frame: false, 
   webPreferences: {
      nodeIntegration: true, 
      enableRemoteModule: true
   }
});
