Electron Browser Boilerplate

Getting started example browser made out of Electron I found the Electron Sample Apps repo hard to follow, so I cleaned it up using Webpack and SCSS to manage dependencies and simplify logic.

But big props to those guys for providing this nice getting started point! Thank you :D Check out https://github.com/hokein/electron-sample-apps for other sample apps to get started with.

Suggested Development Process

• @import "your_file"; in src/scss/entry.scss at the bottom of the import list.
• import yourModule from './your-new-js-module' as needed inside src/js/entry.js or other modules as needed.

Build Process

• Make sure Electron is installed globally
  • npm install -g electron
• npm install to install dependencies
• npm start to kick off a build and open the Electron Browser app

Description

• Electron is serving an HTML file at static/browser.html.
  • This file has the layout for the browser UI, and wraps a webview (where the webpages load)
