Elixir or Phoenix integration with Node JS
Hi! I am new to elixir and I am realy love it, this language is simply amazing. My question is this
I have existing Electron app, that contains a bunch of node js scripts. Basically, what I am doing is browser automation via playwright (filling forms with data => save result => display report to user) and what I want is parallel execution of those scripts. How can I create kind of “control” elixir app for my node scripts?And how can I connect it to my existing electron interface.
The flow that I want to achieve: User clicks on button => electron app somehow communicate with elixir app => elixir app starts node js instance 1; User clicks again => electron communicate with elixir => elixir starts node js instance 2… etc

Do not misunderstand me, right now everything works without elixir and it works fine, but what I want is to test and kind of play with elixir’s parallelism ability. Any simple way is ok for me, I am not an expert after all.

So @MihailPertsev have you ended up using Playwright? If so, which approach did you choose and how did it go?

I have tried this out, but getting an error :
{:error,
"Cannot find module ....}
What should the name of the module be?
