A starter template for an Angular 5 Electron app
To get started run npm install then npm run refresh. refresh is short for npm run build && npm run electron
This angular app can be launched with ng serve as any other anglar app can. There is a mock object for electron in /src/mocks/electron.mock.ts. The mock object is used in /src/services/electron.service.ts when running in the browser. You may need to build this out as your application uses more advanced electron features.
This project uses the Angular CLI to perform an AOT build of the Typescript files in the app. This will pull in script you reference via your Typescript imports.
If you want to use a library that you're more comfortable with like jQuery in an Angular App. You can just install the library via npm and then import the library when required.
npm install jquery@latest
Then add this to your Typescript file
import $ from 'jquery';
Run npm run build to build the project.
Run npm run electron or electron . to run the app in electron
The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Including an updated copy of the Electron required files main.js and package.json to allow for easy packaging. This logic is performed in copy-files-for-packaging.js.
Run npm run package to package the dist folder.
