Electron question

I just got PiratePig (but you could use any sample) working with Electron doing the following steps:

1.) Enter the project directory and run npm install if you have not already

2.) Install Electron:

npm install electron --save-dev --save-exact

3.) Edit “package.json” and add a new script

"start:electron": "npm run build:dev && cd dist && electron main.js",

4.) Download this file and save it in your “dist” directory

5.) Run npm run start:electron

The “main.js” is a Node.js application, which uses Electron to open a new window, and open “index.html”. All the rest is the same as what we do for the normal web build :slight_smile:
