Any desktop application of descent size would want to store some data in form of configuration for better user expeience. It can be storing some kind of preference of the user or some keys which the application might require to perform certain kind of actions.

In this video, I am going to show you how we can store configurations on a user's home folder and retrive them at any point of time.

We will only allow sharing one value to the renderer process instead of listing the entire config file so that we don't run into a security issue. Also, we will see how we can encrypt the file so that it is not possible for users to just go and manually edit the config file through any text editor.
