## Information
<!-- Include all relevant information that might help understand and

I am trying to use the serial port library on cordova-electron.
When i use
```cordova run electron --nobuild ```, this work perfectly and the
application is launch and I can use serialport.
When i want to do the build, I use
```cordova build android```and there are no errors.
But when I launch the build , this error is displayed :
```
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

The line "cdv-electron-main.js:27:24" is
```
const { SerialPort } = require("serialport");
```
### Command or Code

Create a projet with cordova-electron
```
npm i -g cordova
cordova create sampleApp
cd sampleApp
cordova platform add electron
```
Add serialport
```
npm i serialport
```
Update sampleApp/platforms/electron/platform_www
```
#Add this in top of file
const { SerialPort } = require("serialport");
#And after all the const declarations, add this
console.log("hello serialport : " , SerialPort);
```
Try it with
```

That work and the console.log is make.

in /sampleApp/platforms/electron/build/win-unpacked/HelloCordova.exe, this
error message is displayed
