Juan Tejada 26868f6f9b [client-app] Correctly handle db malformed errors in main process
Summary:
This commit addressess issue T8135, which prevents the app from
starting.

This was happening because when 3111c166 landed, we added database
access from the main (backend) electron process to be able to read the
identity now stored in the database: https://github.com/nylas/nylas-mail/commit/3111c166#diff-1efa26fa0ae1603366b2c0033d971028R44
However, we omitted to add any error handling, so if the database failed to open
due to a database malformed error (which it does:
https://sentry.io/nylas/nylas-mail/?query=is%3Aunresolved+release%3A2.0.14+malformed&statsPeriod=14d), the app will just fail to start,
given that this happens during the initialization of the main process.
Additionally, the fact that we had no error handling increased the error
reports for malformed errors given that we would never handle them, so
every-time we opened the app we would report the same error

This commit adds the same error handling we have in the DatabaseStore
and moves the code around so it's available both in the main and
renderer processes.

After this commit, if the database fails to open during main process
initialization, due to malformed errors or others, we will correctly
inform the user that the database is corrupted, rebuild it, and restart
the app.

Test Plan:
manually throw errors during setup, verify that we handle them
correctly

Nylas Mail

This is a collection of all components required to run Nylas Mail.

  1. Isomorphic Core: Shared code across local client and cloud servers
  2. Client App: The main Electron app for Nylas Mail mirrored to open source repo.
  3. Client Sync: The local mailsync engine integreated in Nylas Mail
  4. Client Private Plugins: Private Nylas Mail plugins (like SFDC)
  5. Cloud API: The cloud-based auth and metadata APIs for N1
  6. Cloud Core: Shared code used in all remote cloud services
  7. Cloud Workers: Cloud workers for services like send later

See /packages for the separate pieces. Each folder in /packages is designed to be its own stand-alone repository. They are all bundled here for the ease of source control management.

Initial Setup for All Local & Cloud Services:

New Computer (Mac):

  1. Install Homebrew
  2. Install NVM & Redis brew install nvm redis
  3. Install Node 6 via NVM: nvm install 6

New Computer (Linux - Debian/Ubuntu):

  1. Install Node 6+ via NodeSource (trusted):
  2. curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
  3. sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
  4. Install Redis locally sudo apt-get install -y redis-server redis-tools benefit of letting us use subdomains.

Running Nylas Mail

  1. npm install (Only on fresh install and new packages)
  2. npm run start-client: Starts Electron app client
  3. npm run start-cloud: Starts cloud API locally
