it’s easier than i initially thought!
in your main file (index | app | main | whathever) .js (see the entry point in package.json file) create the server (i’m using express js instead og node’s built-in)
it will be something like
const electron = require('electron');
var express = require("express");
var server = express();
const app = electron.app;
server.get("/data/:parameter/:moreparameter", (req, res) => {
//here the magic happens
res.send("send something back") OR res.render("pagename",{some json arguments})
})
more or less this is a very “basic” server with electron and expressjs
