Chapter 5 code does not work for me

[istitou]

I tried following the book steps, but it did not work, so I decided to download the chapter 5 code and see if it works. I get the same problem. I do not have a text editor showing, the buttons aren't clickable, and I can't search files. The application is pretty much dead.

@istitou the code has a small issue with the dialog API you can check this #9 as it will fix your problem

basically, the new way to access the dialog will be using the remote which you will have to require from electron itself or simply change the code to be like this

const remote = require('electron').remote;
const dialog = remote.dialog;
