electron-bootstrap

A basic Electron application needs these files:

package.json - Points to the app's main file and lists its details and dependencies.
src/main/main.ts - Starts the app and creates a browser window to render HTML. This is the app's main process.
src/renderer/app.ts - This is the app's renderer process.
index.html - A web page to render.

You can learn more about each of these components within the Quick Start Guide.
