Example how to use TypeORM with Electron using TypeScript

Hello guys, TypeORM is no more working with Electron?

I clone this link https://github.com/typeorm/electron-typescript-example

and run for download dependencias and when I start i got this error:

App threw an error during load C:\Users\Acer\Desktop\once\electron-typescript-example\node_modules\typeorm\node_modules\chalk\source\index.js:106 ...styles, ^^^ SyntaxError: Unexpected token ... at createScript (vm.js:74:10) at Object.runInThisContext (vm.js:116:10) at Module._compile (module.js:533:28) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:580:10) at Module.load (module.js:503:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:466:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:458:3) at Module.require (module.js:513:17) at require (internal/module.js:11:18) at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\Acer\Desktop\once\electron-typescript-example\node_modules\typeorm\platform\PlatformTools.js:7:39)

Production build

Hi, I need to know how to build this example into production app like .exe?

I have run

electron-builder build --win --x64

But throws an error

 • electron-builder version=20.19.1
  • description is missed in the package.json appPackageFile=C:\Users\Romsy\Documents\Code\Test\electron-typescript-example\package.json
  • writing effective config file=dist\electron-builder-effective-config.yaml
  • rebuilding native production dependencies platform=win32 arch=x64
  • rebuilding native dependency name=sqlite3
  • packaging       platform=win32 arch=x64 electron=1.8.7 appOutDir=dist\win-unpacked
Error: Application entry file "index.js" in the "C:\Users\Romsy\Documents\Code\Test\electron-typescript-example\dist\win-unpacked\resources\app.asar" does not exist. Seems like a wrong configuration.

I just want to make sure that this example will have no error after release build.
Because I have an app that follows along the way with how this app works but only works on development mode, when I run on release build its error says that Cannot find module typeorm. Maybe because this line

electron-typescript-example/src/index.html

Lines 15 to 16 in 06e9448

	<script>
	var typeorm = require("typeorm");

I'm not sure.

create typeORM before electron main process init.

Dear dev, I have read this repo, and I found bellow code:

electron-typescript-example/src/index.ts

Lines 14 to 20 in cb27a92

	setTimeout(() => {
	console.log("You can also get posts from the second process:");
	createConnection().then(async connection => {
	const posts = await connection.getRepository("Post").find();
	console.log("posts:", posts);
	});
	}, 5000);

Actually, I want to use the database data like width and height to init BrowserWindow, Cloud I init TypeORM before we create BrowserWindow?

---

I try put init typeOrm before or after createWindow function, there always error like:
