I have over 30 IPC listeners in my electron application, and I'm considering which approach is better for performance optimization.
One option is to implement each IPC listener separately:
ipcMain.on('appLanguageChange', (event, data) => {
//do something with data
})
ipcMain.on('current-patient-ask', (event, data) => {
//do something with data
})
ipcMain.on('patient-set', (event, data) => {
//do something with data
})
//and so on...
The alternative is to use a switch statement within one IPC listener:
ipcMain.on('data-flow', (event, topic, data) => {
switch (topic) {
case "appLanguageChange":
//do something with data
case "current-patient-ask":
//do something with data
case "patient-set":
//do something with data
break;
//add more cases as needed...
})
Currently, I'm using the switch statement approach—is this a good strategy? I've noticed warnings about having too many IPC listeners. Is there a limit to how many can be implemented? It would be helpful to understand the advantages and disadvantages of both methods. Thank you in advance.
