Directory structure

🚨 By default, the files in electron folder will be built into the dist/electron

│   ├── main                  Main-process source code
│   ├── preload               Preload-scripts source code
│   └── resources             Resources for the production build
│       ├── icon.icns             Icon for the application on macOS
│       ├── icon.ico              Icon for the application
│       ├── installerIcon.ico     Icon for the application installer
│       └── uninstallerIcon.ico   Icon for the application uninstaller

│   └── {version}
│       ├── {os}-unpacked     Contains unpacked application executable
│       └── Setup.{ext}       Installer for the application

🚨

By default, this template integrates Node.js in the Renderer process. If you don't need it, you just remove the option below. Because it will modify the default config of Vite.

# vite.config.ts

electron({
- renderer: {}
})
