API Reference > imodeljs-frontend > NativeApp > IpcApp > invoke invoke MethodStatic Send a message to the backend via channel and expect a result asynchronously. The handler must be established on the backend via BackendIpc.handle invoke(channel: string, ...args: any[]): Promise<any> see Electron ipcRenderer.invoke documentation for details. Note that this interface may be implemented via Electron for desktop apps, or via WebSockets for mobile or web-based Ipc connections. In either case, the Electron documentation provides the specifications for how it works. note args are serialized with the Structured Clone Algorithm, so only primitive types and ArrayBuffers are allowed. Parameter Type Description channel string The name of the channel for the method. ...args any[] Returns - Promise<any> Defined in core/frontend/src/IpcApp.ts Line 83 Last Updated: 12 June, 2024
