This tutorial describes how to create an Agora account and build a sample app with Agora using Electron and React.

• Agora.io Developer Account
• Node.js 6.9.1+ with C++11 support
• Electron >= 1.8.3

This section shows you how to prepare and build the Agora Electron wrapper.

To build and run the sample application, first obtain an app ID:

1. Create a developer account at agora.io. Once you finish the sign-up process, you are redirected to the dashboard.
2. Navigate in the dashboard tree on the left to Projects > Project List.
3. Copy the app ID that you obtain from the dashboard into a text file. You will use this when you launch the app.

Open the settings.js file and add the app ID.

Run the install command in your project directory:

  # install dependencies
  npm install 

Note: During install, the C++ add-on is downloaded instead of being built.

Use the run dev or run dist command to build the Agora Electron wrapper. To enable dynamic compiling and HMR development, use run dev:

# enable dynamic compiling and HMR developing environment
npm run dev

To build for release, use run dist:

# build for release
npm run dist

Once the build is complete, use the resulting Agora Electron wrapper to build your application.
