Get Started

Prerequisites

You need to install Node.js to run the code.

Installing

You will then need to install Yarn using

npm install -g yarn

After installing Yarn, install the dependencies by simply running

yarn

Running

To run a live development build, run

yarn dev

To create a production build, run

yarn build

Then, to locally run the production build, use

yarn start

To release a publishable version, run

yarn release

File System

`renderer/`

This is where the nuxt app itself is contained.

Hypothetically, deleting renderer/ folder, and creating a new nuxt app using

yarn create nuxt-app renderer

Will work, just keep in mind the known limitations, and for an optimal configuration, choose Yarn for Package manager, Single Page App for Rendering mode, and Static for Deployment target.

`main/`

This is where the main electron instance is created.

Anything imported from the index.ts file will be bundled along for production and development.

The bundled file location will be dependent on the main field of package.json. If you do change the location, make sure it's included in .gitignore.

`build/`

This contains all the code written to both create and run development and production builds.

External configuration may come in the future if requested.
