## 📂 Directory structure
Familiar React application structure, just with `electron` folder on the top :wink:
*Files in this folder will be separated from your React application and built into `dist/electron`*
```tree
├── electron Electron-related code
│ ├── 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
├── release Generated after production build, contains executables
│ └── {version}
│ ├── {os}-unpacked Contains unpacked application executable
│ └── Setup.{ext} Installer for the application
├── public Static assets
└── src Renderer source code, your React application
```
## 🚨 Be aware
This template integrates Node.js API to the renderer process by default. If you want to follow **Electron Security Concerns** you might want to disable this feature. You will have to expose needed API by yourself.
To get started, remove the option as shown below. This will [modify the Vite configuration and disable this feature](https://github.com/electron-vite/vite-plugin-electron/tree/main/packages/electron-renderer#config-presets-opinionated).
```diff
# vite.config.ts
electron({
- renderer: {}
})
```
