TypeRefinery

Overview

This template should help get you started developing Electron app using Vue 3, Vite, Vuex and Vuetify, and friends.

Main Window

Prerequisites

• Install powershell 7 (latest release)
• On Windows install Windows terminal (latest release)
• setup git for EOL to lf
• setup node 18.20.4 (latest release)

You can follow this guide to get you started Setup Your Windows Devbox Like a Pro.

Run Setup

# clone the project
git clone --recursive https://github.com/typerefinery-ai/typerefinery.git

# enter the project directory
cd typerefinery

# install dependency
npm install

# develop
npm run electron:dev

If you want to update the submodules, you can run the following command:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Recommended IDE Setup

VSCode + Volar (and disable Vetur) + TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar).

Type Support for .vue Imports in TS

TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports by default, so we replace the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. In editors, we need TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.

If the standalone TypeScript plugin doesn't feel fast enough to you, Volar has also implemented a Take Over Mode that is more performant. You can enable it by the following steps:

1. Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension
   1. Run Extensions: Show Built-in Extensions from VSCode's command palette
   2. Find TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features, right click and select Disable (Workspace)
2. Reload the VSCode window by running Developer: Reload Window from the command palette.

Releasing

When you want to create a new release, follow these steps:

1. Update the version in your project's package.json file (e.g. 2022.3.24)
2. Commit and sign that change (git commit -s -a -m "chore: release v2022.3.24")
3. Tag and sign your commit (git tag -s -a v2022.3.24 -m "v2022.3.24"). Make sure your tag name's format is {YYYY}.{M}.{DD}. Your workflow will use this tag to detect when to create a release
