Change nodeIntegration to false for security

Electron recommends that nodeIntegration be false and contextIsolation be true in Electron Documentation.

Errors with Typescript call stacks

When there's an error from the main process, errors are reported referencing line numbers of JS files in the dist folder, e.g. the compiled output:

(node:59233) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: settings_1.Settings.get(...) is not a function or its return value is not iterable
    at SomeCode (/<project path>/dist/main/main.js:231:44)
...etc
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)

It'd be awesome if these could be reported back to the developer with source maps so there's a Typescript file and line number there.

Add package process

Hi!

First, thanks for this cool starter, electron + fusebox is just blazing fast and it produce a very good dx 😍

For a complete electron starter, we need to add the package process! (essential for an electron app)

I'm trying to do this process on my current project (private repo, sorry) but it's not really easy to deal with main.ts/app.tsx/vendors and all assets (icons, images…) to have the perfect bundle!

So if someone have already do this job before, it can be very cool to consolidate this really good starter 😄 (otherwise, I will probably considate this myself, when my stack will working)

Note: I think https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder can do the job, but it's just a suggestion

Wrong command to launch the app?

I'm not sure if other platforms behave differently but on Windows the app won't launch after running npm start in the console. But I already found why:

Line 31 in fuse.js says the following:

spawn(`${__dirname}/node_modules/electron/cli.js`, [__dirname])

It works if I change it to:

spawn('node', [`${ __dirname }/node_modules/electron/cli.js`,  __dirname ])

Basically running node .../cli.js dist instead of just .../cli.js dist.

Minimum or maximum supported Node version?

I'm curious if there is a minimum or maximum supported Node version. I found I had to add async...await for "'build:main'" to get the Fuse dev server to start after the fuse.run() for spawning Electron. I'm happy to create a PR but only if there's an understanding that the supported Node version is a minimum of version 8. At this point, ≥ version 8 seems safe but I don't want to assume.

electron.ts

It would be nice to use typescript in electron.js(main process) 👍
