Electron - How to save information?

1.6k views Asked by At

I've recently learned about Electron, and given I have a rather well amount of knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Javascript, I decided to take a look at it. When I normally make web applications I use MySQL for storing user data mostly through PHP. I noticed Electron doesn't support PHP files like a normal browser does, so I'm curious as to what the best method for saving user data actually is. I read Electron allows for interaction of files like a real application does unlike web apps, but I feel like there's another way. Is there any "standard" when it comes to stuff like this?

As I mentioned in the comment, you could use a NoSQL solution (or as Paulo Galdo Sandoval mentioned, the HTML5 storage methods)

I googled and found these resources: https://medium.com/@ccnokes/how-to-store-user-data-in-electron-3ba6bf66bc1e#.c45jm3tas
