So I wanted to save a file on the client storage using Store.js.

I can change the date using store.set and i can log it to console to see the change, but then it's supposed to be saved in app data where it's not created.

I tried to get the Path where it's being saved and it's :

C:UsersUSERAppDataRoamingstoma2/Categories.json

I noticed that there is a "/" so I tried :

C:UsersUSERAppDataRoamingstoma2Categories.json
and :
C:/Users/USER/AppData/Roaming/stoma2/Categories.json

But all 3 of them didn't work.

This is my Store.js :

 const fs = require('browserify-fs');
 var fs2 = require('filereader'),Fs2 = new fs2();
 const electron = window.require('electron');
 const path = require('path');


 class Store 
 constructor(opts) 

 // This will just return the property on the `data` object
 get(key) 
 return this.data[key];
 

 // ...and this will set it
 set(key, val) 
 this.data[key] = val;
 // Wait, I thought using the node.js' synchronous APIs was bad form?
 // We're not writing a server so there's not nearly the same IO demand on the process
 // Also if we used an async API and our app was quit before the asynchronous write had a chance to complete,
 // we might lose that data. Note that in a real app, we would try/catch this.
 fs.writeFile(this.path, JSON.stringify(this.data));
 
 

 function parseDataFile(filePath, data) 
 // We'll try/catch it in case the file doesn't exist yet, which will be the case on the first application run.
 // `fs.readFileSync` will return a JSON string which we then parse into a Javascript object
 try 
 return JSON.parse(Fs2.readAsDataURL(new File(filePath)));
 catch(error) 
 // if there was some kind of error, return the passed in defaults instead.
 return data;
 
 

 // expose the class
 export default Store;

There might be a probleme fith js.writeFile() (well that's the source of probleme).

and this is my call :

 //creation
 const storeDefCat = new Store(
 configName: "Categories",
 defaults: require("../data/DefaultCategorie.json")
 )
 //call for the save
 storeDefCat.set('Pizza',id:0,path:storeDefCat.get('Pizza').path);

For now if possible,I might need to find another way to save the file.

And i tried : fs : It doesn't work for me for some reason (I get strange errors that they don't want to be fixed..) .

If anyone has an Idea then please I would be grateful.

So I managed to fix the probleme, Why fs was sending me errors about undefined functions?Why file wasn't getting created ? It has NOTHING to do with the code it self, but the imports...

To clearify, I was using :

const fs = require('fs');

And the solution is to make it like :

const fs = window.require('fs');

Just adding window. fixed all the problems .Since it's my first time using electron I wasn't used to import from the window but it seems it's necessary.And more over...There was no posts saying this is the fix.
