How do you handle data storage and retrieval when developing Electron applications?

When developing Electron applications, I typically use a combination of local storage and a remote database for data storage and retrieval.

For local storage, I use the Electron APIs such as the File System API, the Local Storage API, and the IndexedDB API. These APIs allow me to store data locally on the user’s machine, which is useful for storing user preferences, application settings, and other data that needs to be accessed quickly.

For remote storage, I use a database such as MongoDB, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. This allows me to store data in a centralized location, which is useful for storing large amounts of data that needs to be accessed by multiple users. I also use an ORM (Object Relational Mapping) library such as Sequelize or Mongoose to help with data retrieval and manipulation.

Finally, I use a web service such as REST or GraphQL to communicate between the Electron application and the remote database. This allows me to easily send and receive data between the two systems.
