My attempt to recreate ClojureScript development workflow while developing desktop apps with electron.
- ClojureScript (init script and ui code)
- Figwheel for interactive development (+ serves webjars)
- Reagent for UI
gem install foreman # install foreman gem (see Procfile)
npm install electron-prebuilt -g # install electron binaries
foreman start # compile cljs and start figwheel
electron . # start electron from another terminal
lein cljsbuild once frontend-release # compile ui code
lein cljsbuild once electron-release # compile electron initialization code
electron . # start electron to test that everything works
After that you can follow distribution guide for the electron.
The easiest way to package an electron app is by using electron-packager:
npm install electron-packager -g # install electron packager
electron-packager . HelloWorld --platform=darwin --arch=x64 --version=1.4.8 # package it!
