Angular Cli + Electron

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 15.0.3.

The Angular project is wrapped in an Electron environment, that enables you to start the application in a separate window on your desktop.

Development server

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The application will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via a platform of your choice. To use this command, you need to first add a package that implements end-to-end testing capabilities.

Further help

To get more help on the Angular CLI use ng help or go check out the Angular CLI README.

Add support for file system (no official support):

Create a file called native.js in the src folder and insert the following:

window.fs = require("fs");

Add this file to the .angular-cli.json scripts array:

"scripts": [
    "native.js"
],

Add the following lines to polyfills.ts:

declare global {
  interface Window {
    fs: any;
  }
}

After that you can access the filesystem with:

window.fs.writeFileSync("sample.txt", "my data");
