bundled code fails on renderer initialization about electron-app-settings HOT 1 CLOSED

It would seem some bundlers don't respect the use of remote.require per-default. This line exists solely to ensure that the main process has required the electron-app-settings module so that settings can be reliably saved from the renderer process. If the main process has already required the module(as you noticed), then this line does nothing. As such, this does not qualify as a bug, but rather as a problem in the domain of webpack.

However, it would be nice to be able to conditionally disable the remote.require line. I could add an environment variable check to disable the use of remote.require, with the caveat that the end-user would have to ensure that environment variable is set (via the invoking shell or through webpack's DefinePlugin). Perhaps via an environment variable such as NO_REMOTE_REQUIRE?
