App data & updates
Lesson 4 of 5
Settings live as JSON in the userData directory — written atomically — and the autoUpdater keeps installed copies current without user effort.
What you'll learn
- Locate per-user app storage with app.getPath("userData")
- Persist settings safely: defaults merge, atomic writes, or electron-store
- Follow the auto-update flow from feed check to quitAndInstall
