tosbur-vue

The electron wrapper for electron-web

Project setup

yarn install

Compiles and hot-reloads for development

yarn electron:serve

Build electron app

1. First, copy dist from tosbur-web to ./static/ so that the tree looks like:

❯ tree -L 2 static
static
└── dist
    ├── assets
    ├── favicon.ico
    └── index.html

cp -R ../tosbur-web/dist ./static

2. Removing leading slashes in references in ./static/dist/index.html

3. Export environment variables:

export DOCKER_IPC_SOCKET='http://unix:/var/run/docker.sock:' export API_VERSION='v1.41'

4. Build

yarn electron:build

Project setup

Project was setup with electron-builder and vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder.

This was helpful to get going with the project, but vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder may be moot now. Once it was determined that electron-builder can load any file or url, regardless of how or where it was built, the decision was made to build the web application in a separate repository using Vite. This web application is housed in the tosbur-web repository.

Todos (Build related)

1. Investigate the impact of entirely removing vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder.
2. Should web app dist be sent to ./public?
3. Why do leading slashed have to be removed when using file:/// in build?
4. Export env variables should not be necessary.
