electron with create-react-app and typescript

Electron x CRA x Typescript

The react-scripts used in this repo is my customized version. The main difference are sass-loader config and allow to change the webpack target.

If this CRA pull request are merged and you do not require the sass prefix, you could repalce the react-scripts to offical version
