Hi, I need to know how to build this example into production app like .exe?

I have run

electron-builder build --win --x64

But throws an error

 • electron-builder version=20.19.1
  • description is missed in the package.json appPackageFile=C:\Users\Romsy\Documents\Code\Test\electron-typescript-example\package.json
  • writing effective config file=dist\electron-builder-effective-config.yaml
  • rebuilding native production dependencies platform=win32 arch=x64
  • rebuilding native dependency name=sqlite3
  • packaging       platform=win32 arch=x64 electron=1.8.7 appOutDir=dist\win-unpacked
Error: Application entry file "index.js" in the "C:\Users\Romsy\Documents\Code\Test\electron-typescript-example\dist\win-unpacked\resources\app.asar" does not exist. Seems like a wrong configuration.

I just want to make sure that this example will have no error after release build.
Because I have an app that follows along the way with how this app works but only works on development mode, when I run on release build its error says that Cannot find module typeorm. Maybe because this line

electron-typescript-example/src/index.html

Lines 15 to 16 in 06e9448

<script>
var typeorm = require("typeorm");
I'm not sure.

@pleerock any thoughts?

Hi @rohmanhm Can you verify that your dist builds correctly without TypeORM and compare/contrast that behaviour with this build that includes TypeORM?

I am also interested in integrating Electron TypeORM in the coming few weeks and will come up with a solution.

What technologies are you using?

I wouldn't recommend importing modules through a script tag in html.

rohmanhm commented

Yeah, don't use typeorm on html tag.
I think the best way to integrate typeorm and electron is with ipcMain and ipcRenderer

This boilerplate inspired me.

This is mine also works now in dev and production mode using ipcMain and ipcRenderer.
