I am trying to make ethereum-electron-react application.

when I try to inject web3 it does not get detected.

import Web3 from 'web3';

console.log (Web3);

this shows an empty object

node version -v8.9.4

  • Manish, How do you figure out how to create an electron ethereum app? Do you happen to have a guide or tips? Thank you! – march_f6 Oct 4 '18 at 13:08
  • I don't think that replying the question with a question is a good practice (in this situation). If you have a specific question it would be better to ask it separately. – Aquila Oct 4 '18 at 19:04

I believe the problem is how the electron app runs. It is serving content from the local storage.

Web3 will be injected only if the page was server from a web server:

MetaMask Compatibility Guide

Http(s) - Web Server Required

Due to browser security restrictions, we can't communicate with dapps running on file://. Please use a local server for development.
