vite-react-electron

English | 简体中文

Overview

• All config files Main-process, Renderer-process and Preload-script they are in configs/*.ts.

• All files are built using Vite, is supper fast.

• scripts/build.mjs just calls the Vite API and uses the configs/*.ts config file to build.

• The difference between scripts/watch.mjs and build.mjs is that the watch option is configured for the Main-process and Preload-script. The Renderer-process uses require ('vite').createServer

• Manage projects more through configuration other than scripts. -- 🥳 Simple and clearly

Run Setup

# clone the project
git clone git@github.com:caoxiemeihao/vite-react-electron.git

# enter the project directory
cd vite-react-electron

# install dependency
npm install

# develop
npm run dev

Directory

Once dev or build npm-script executed will be generate named dist folder. It has children dir of same as src folder, the purpose of this design can ensure the correct path calculation.

Use Electron, NodeJs API

🚧 By default, Electron don't support the use of API related to Electron and NoeJs in the Renderer-process, but someone still need to use it. If so, you can see the 👉 npm-package vitejs-plugin-electron or another template electron-vite-boilerplate

All Electron, NodeJs API invoke passed Preload-script
