const msg = computed(() => result.value?.msg)

Type Declarations 

/**
 * Returns Promise<any> - Resolves with the response from the main process.
 *
 * Send a message to the main process via channel and expect a result ~~asynchronously~~. As composition-api, it makes asynchronous operations look like synchronous.
 *
 * You need to provide `ipcRenderer` to this function.
 *
 * @see https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/ipc-renderer#ipcrendererinvokechannel-args
 * @export
 * @template T
