• Package your app into an executable file for Linux, Windows & Mac

Clone this repository locally :

git clone https://github.com/CubikNeRubik/angular-electron-typeorm-starter.git

Install dependencies with npm :

npm install

If you want to generate Angular components with Angular-cli , you MUST install @angular/cli in npm global context.
Please follow Angular-cli documentation if you had installed a previous version of angular-cli.

npm install -g @angular/cli

• in a terminal window -> npm start

The application code is managed by main.ts. In this sample, the app runs with a simple Angular App (http://localhost:4200) and an Electron window whitch can edit data in database. The Angular component contains an example of Electron, TypeORM and NodeJS native lib import. If you need to add additional dependencies you shoud put it to extra-webpack.config.js. You can desactivate "Developer Tools" by commenting win.webContents.openDevTools(); in main.ts.

Your application is optimised. Only /dist folder and node dependencies are included in the executable.

1. Browser mode. You can't use TypeORM in browser so it is not possible.If you need to run app in browser and don't need TypeORM you can use angular-electron for that.
2. Windows Build. You cannot make build for windows if path to project folder contains spaces or not latin letters.
