Intro

Bootstrap and package your project with Angular 6(+) and Electron (Typescript + SASS + Hot Reload) for creating Desktop applications.

Currently runs with:

  • Angular v6.1.2
  • Electron v2.0.7
  • Electron Builder v20.28.1

With this sample, you can :

  • Run your app in a local development environment with Electron & Hot reload
  • Run your app in a production environment
  • Package your app into an executable file for Linux, Windows & Mac

Getting Started

Install node.js LTS on your PC with the following link:

Node.js Download Suite


Install dependencies with npm :

sudo npm install
sudo npm install shelljs

There is an issue with yarn and node_modules that are only used in electron on the backend when the application is built by the packager. Please use npm as dependencies manager.

If you want to generate Angular components with Angular-cli , you MUST install @angular/cli in npm global context.
Please follow Angular-cli documentation if you had installed a previous version of angular-cli.

npm install -g @angular/cli

To build for development

  • in a terminal window -> npm start

Voila! You can use your Angular + Electron app in a local development environment with hot reload !

The application code is managed by main.ts. In this sample, the app runs with a simple Angular App (http://localhost:4200) and an Electron window.
The Angular component contains an example of Electron and NodeJS native lib import.
You can disable "Developer Tools" by commenting win.webContents.openDevTools(); in main.ts.
