The communication between the BrowserView and the renderer React page in Electron is handled through IPC (Inter-Process Communication).

IPC is a way for the main process (which contains the BrowserView) and the renderer process (which contains the React page) to communicate with each other. The BrowserView sends messages to the renderer process using the webContents.send method, and the renderer process receives messages using the ipcRenderer.on method.

This allows for two-way communication between the BrowserView and the React page. For example, the React page can send messages back to the BrowserView to request actions or updates.

Overall, IPC provides a powerful way for different parts of an Electron application to communicate and work together.
