A gulp plugin that creates electron based distributable applications.

Install with npm.

npm install --save-dev gulp-electron

Add a gulp electron task like :

var gulp = require('gulp');
var electron = require('gulp-electron');
var packageJson = require('./src/package.json');

gulp.task('electron', function() {

    gulp.src("")
    .pipe(electron({
        src: './src',
        packageJson: packageJson,
        release: './release',
        cache: './cache',
        version: 'v0.26.1',
        packaging: true,
        platforms: ['win32-ia32', 'darwin-x64']
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(""));
});

Executing gulp electron will create an electron package for the specified platforms.
