electron-react-parcel-boilerplate's Issues

Why downgrade to electron 3?

Just curious, what's the reason for not using Electron 4.0? :)

Why use Babel instead of typescript compiler?

Why is Babel installed when it can all be done using tsc?

Reloader for Main process

@shamofu - thanks SO MUCH for putting this boilerplate together! Hugely helpful 🍰💪.

I notice the main process does not auto re-load on changes (is that right, or am I missing something?). Makes sense as that's outside the purview of parcel, I guess.

But projects like electron-webpack seem to have figured out how to do HMR on main. Is this intentionally left out? Or do you have a strategy for how this might be done? Or (as above) and I missing something 😛.

Thanks.

Questions - Electron Version and .babelrc

Hey there @shamofu,

Couple of question popped up as I was working over your (fine) repo:

Electron Version

I noticed you reverted from Electron v4 => v3 [commit]

I was wondering why that was. What it an issue with V4 of electron that would be useful to know about?

.babelrc

I'm wondering why you included a .babelrc file. Parcel seems to pick up these settings automatically, and much of the "electron" target is specified within the command line args in package.json.

It also seems to work find without it. Wondering what you know here that's not obvious 🧐.

Thanks @shamofu - again, this repo is proving unbelievably helpful!!!
