electron-typescript-react | : electron : An Electron boilerplate including TypeScript | Frontend Framework library

I am trying to open a sqlite3 database encrypted with sqlcipher. I have the password and I could open it successfully using sqlitebrowser.

I started my project using this template. It is based on the electron-forge webpack plugin.

When I type yarn start, it creates a .webpack folder and all the compiled code goes in it. When I stop the terminal command, this folder disappears.

Then I wanted to use the package @journeyapps/sqlcipher to open my database, but this line is causing an error in the main process: const sqlite3 = require("@journeyapps/sqlcipher")

The error is: Error: Cannot find module '<>/.webpack/main/native_modules/lib/binding/napi-v6-linux-x64/node_sqlite3.node'

The package documentation says two things about using it with electron-forge:

1. make sure that the folder node_modules/@journeyapps/sqlcipher/lib/binding/napi-v6-linux-x64 exists -> yes it exists

2. Disable rebuilding of this library using the onlyModules option of electron-rebuild in your package.json "config": { "forge": { "electronRebuildConfig": { "onlyModules": [] // Specify other native modules here if required } } -> I did it, I added the lines of code

I still have the error, but I feel it can be solved "easily" (with a lot more understanding of webpack than I have). Indeed, a solution would be to move the folder binding/napi-v6-linux-x64 into .webpack each time I launch the app, right?

I tried to do electron-rebuild -f -w sqlite3, the rebuild succeeded but nothing happens, I still have the same error.

I am stuck here and cannot go further for my app, as it lays on reading this database. Should I start a new project and avoid using webpack? Do you have any example of a project where this package is successfully imported and used?

Thank you in advance for your help!
