Electron - Requiring Native Modules in the Renderer Process to be NAPI or Context Aware

[David-University]

As mentioned in the following issue for electron, support for native modules that are not NAPI or Context Aware are going to be dropped. Electron Issue

This will result in applications that use epoll/onoff being broken after Electron 12.

Applications based on electron 10+ require the flag app.allowRendererProcessReuse = false in the Electron main.js.

I guess it would make sense to migrate from NAN to N-API to resolve this issue.

@David-University do you use Electron on a Raspberry Pi (or similar)? I don't have any idea of how many people do this.

[David-University]

I use Electron on a raspberry Pi 3 and raspberry Pi 4.

Ok. I'm not sure if I'll get around to this any time soon.
