How to use sqlite3 module with Electron (stackoverflow.com):
To use a Node native module, such as sqlite3, with #Electron, you generally need to rebuild it for use with Electron (which is generally pretty easy, a single command with a couple of npm dependencies). You generally can’t use the normally-compiled Node module. It used to work with electron-builder, but it’s been abandoned. #JS

Electron require is not defined (stackoverflow.com):
Recent versions of #Electron don’t expose Node.js functions in the browser window (since version 5), but you can set webPreferences.nodeIntegration to true and contextIsolation to false if you’re willing to accept the risk.
