This repository contains the basic setup with very minimum requirements for getting started with Electron.js and React.js using TypeScript. The whole idea behind this is to give a starting point for someone who wants to develop desktop application with Electron.js and want to use Typescript + React.
You watch full video explaining how this repository is built and how you can easily build System Tray based apps with it.
The repository itself built in a way that there is 2 different apps Electron.js and React.js, so that you can develop your app UI inside a browser then compile that with Electron to see the final desktop app result.
~# cd <project directory>
~# yarn # OR npm install
# Starting Web app
~# yarn start:web
# Starting Desktop app
~# yarn build:web
~# yarn build:desktop
~# yarn start:desktopYou can make any command combination out of what exists inside a package.json, but for my use-case this was working pretty fine.
There is 2 different UI routes for React.js, and routing made over # (hash) for supporting Electron.js internal routing.
The configuration was done already inside trayWindow.ts so that whenever you will click system tray icon (when desktop app is running),
it will open a route #/tray which represents a file src/apps/Tray/index.tsx
