Electron application boilerplate based on React, Redux, React Router, Webpack, React Transform HMR for rapid application development.
- Note: requires a node version >= 7 and an npm version >= 4.
- If you have installation or compilation issues with this project, please see our debugging guide
First, clone the repo via git:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/chentsulin/electron-react-boilerplate.git your-project-name
And then install dependencies with yarn.
$ cd your-project-name
$ yarn
Note: If you can't use yarn for some reason, try npm install
.
Start the app in the dev
environment. This starts the renderer process in hot-module-replacement mode and starts a server that sends hot updates to the renderer process:
$ npm run dev
You Run these two commands simultaneously in different console tabs:
$ npm run start-renderer-dev
$ npm run start-main-dev

See electron-debug for more information.
This boilerplate includes the following DevTools extensions:
- Devtron - Install via electron-debug.
- React Developer Tools - Install via electron-devtools-installer.
- Redux DevTools - Install via electron-devtools-installer.
You can find the tabs on Chrome DevTools.
If you want to update extensions version, please set UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS
env, just run:
$ UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS=1 npm run dev
# For Windows
$ set UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS=1 && npm run dev
💡 You can debug your production build with devtools by simply setting the DEBUG_PROD
env variable:
DEBUG_PROD=true npm run package
This boilerplate is configured to use css-modules out of the box.
All .css
file extensions will use css-modules unless it has .global.css
.
If you need global styles, stylesheets with .global.css
will not go through the
css-modules loader. e.g. app.global.css
If you want to import global css libraries (like bootstrap
), you can just write the following code in .global.css
:
@import "~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css";
If you want to use Sass in your app, you only need to import .sass
files instead of .css
once:
import './app.global.scss';
To package apps for the local platform:
$ npm run package
To package apps for all platforms:
First, refer to Multi Platform Build for dependencies.
Then,
$ npm run package-all
To package apps with options:
$ npm run package -- --[option]
To run the application without packaging run
$ npm run build
$ npm start
To run End-to-End Test
$ npm run build
$ npm run test-e2e
See electron-builder CLI Usage
You will need to add other modules to this boilerplate, depending on the requirements of your project. For example, you may want to add node-postgres to communicate with PostgreSQL database, or material-ui to reuse react UI components.
This boilerplate uses a two package.json structure. This means, you will have two package.json
files.
./package.json
in the root of your project./app/package.json
insideapp
folder
Rule of thumb is: all modules go into ./package.json
except native modules. Native modules go into ./app/package.json
.
- If the module is native to a platform (like node-postgres) or otherwise should be included with the published package (i.e. bcrypt, openbci), it should be listed under
dependencies
in./app/package.json
. - If a module is
import
ed by another module, include it independencies
in./package.json
. See this ESLint rule. Examples of such modules arematerial-ui
,redux-form
, andmoment
. - Otherwise, modules used for building, testing and debugging should be included in
devDependencies
in./package.json
.
See the wiki page, Module Structure — Two package.json Structure to understand what is native module, the rationale behind two package.json structure and more.
For an example app that uses this boilerplate and packages native dependencies, see erb-sqlite-example.
This project comes with Flow support out of the box! You can annotate your code with types, get Flow errors as ESLint errors, and get type errors during runtime during development. Types are completely optional.
If you want to have native-like User Interface (OS X El Capitan and Windows 10), react-desktop may perfect suit for you.
