This is Electron demo application created for Workshop purpose.
It was created based on electron-forge + @electron-forge/plugin-vite + vite template. However, this boilerplate has some major changes to improve scalability:
- Introduced monorepo structure using yarn workspaces.
There are separate sub-projects for:
- electron main process
- react based renderers
- common code that has to be shared - eg types definitions
- It's TypeScript ready
- It's a working example of an Electron multiple windows application
