This is a simple Electron + React.js template (with live reload). It was designed to work without the need of a development server running in the background, like so many other templates, and it's hence free of cross domain request constraints (CORS). It's further explained in my article on Medium.
To clone and run this repository you'll need Git and Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer. From your command line:
# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/mmick66/electrate my-app
# Go into the repository
cd my-app
# Install dependencies
npm installnpm run start
The tool of choice is Jest as used at Facebook. Create files with the extension *.test.js and they will be run through
npm run test
Replace the icon inside the build folder and run
npm run releaseCheck the dist folder for the app
This template compiles all *.js files in src into standard JS and copies it to app. There it includes *.html and *.css together with the main.js start file. From then it runs and packages using gulp as run through npm.
Some useful tools include:
- Spectron
- Karma + Jasmine
- Ant Design (a React based UI Framework)
