Renderer plugins are used to interact with the web view or frontend of your Deskofy application. They also support Electron APIs, allowing you to add new functionality or modify existing behavior in the renderer process. Each renderer plugin must follow a specific structure: 
import type { IpcRenderer } from 'electron';

const plugin = {
  init: (deskofyIpcRenderer: IpcRenderer) => {
    // Your renderer logic here
  },
};

export default plugin;
When a file follows this structure, Deskofy automatically detects and injects the plugin into the renderer process. Here is a simple example demonstrating a console log. When the application runs, the message will appear in the web browser console: 
import type { IpcRenderer } from 'electron';

const plugin = {
  init: (deskofyIpcRenderer: IpcRenderer) => {
    console.log('Renderer plugin initialized:', deskofyIpcRenderer);
  },
};

export default plugin;
This structure allows developers to safely extend and customize frontend behavior while maintaining integration with Electron.
