Neutralino + Vite + Vue + Typescript Template

A preconfigured, quick start template for making very light and fast desktop applications with the Neutralinojs framework. There's also:

Vite - Code bundler for JavaScript related languages. It's known for it's lightning bundling speed, easy setup with any of the SPA frameworks and much more.
Vue.js - One of the 3 most used SPA frameworks (along with React and Angular), Vue strives for performance as well as keeping a stable and easy to understand API.
Typescript - Strict superset of JavaScript. Gives developers the ability to create their own types and interfaces with many more settings, resulting in much less errors as projects grow larger in size.

Installation And Setup

Get the necessary tools: yarn global add @neutralinojs/neu
Clone this repository and cd into it: git clone https://github.com/FeedTheMEe/neutralinojs-vite-vue-ts-template.git && cd neutralinojs-vite-vue-ts-template
Setup the "backend" part: neu update
Move into the frontend folder: cd frontend
Setup the frontend part: yarn && yarn run build
Create a temporary folder in the main project folder called .tmp and into it create an empty auth_info.json
!IMPORTANT! Create a symlink for auth_info (necessary for the backend to work): cd src && rm ./auth_info.json && ln -s /home/yourusername/path/to/your/project/.tmp/auth_info.json ./auth_info.json

And you're done with the setup! Yes, it was that easy.

For us to have hot-reload enabled, we need to run both the neutralino process and frontend separately.

Make sure you're in the frontend folder and run: yarn run serve
Then create another terminal window instance, cd into the project's base folder and then run yarn run serve:neu

Now you should have a fully working Neutralino app with live updates from the frontend components.
