Electron_Angular8+_Sqlite Starter

This is a simple starter kit for developing electron applications with Angular & SQLite3. It is best suitable for beginners to quick initiate the project. Electron Forge is used for the building the electron app. So there is difficulties in managing the native dependencies for the electron application.

TypeORM is used for the database connectivity. It is such a nice tool for managing entities, fetching, writing data into the database. IpcRenderer from the electron is used to pass data between electron and angular.
