main Events
send allows you to send events much like the ipcMain.send function. It is async and returns the event response.
renderer Events
There are two hooks for sending events from the renderer: useSend and useSendDeferred.
useSend will send the given event when the containing component mounts. It provides an optional boolean argument suspend which causes the hook to suspend its containing component until a response is received from main.
useSendDeferred returns a send function, which can be called in a transition or useEffect function.
