Angular Electron Seed

This seed combines the technologies of Angular (4+) with Electron to create a robust development stack for creating Desktop applications. Leveraging the stock AngularCLI build process, we are able to maintain webpack and stock tooling with minimal tweaking.

Getting Started

Command	Description
npm i	Install the required dependencies
npm run start	Builds the project and opens your app in Electron
npm run start.watch	Builds the project and watches for file changes with Angular CLI
npm run watch	Runs the custom tooling and syncs the live-sync with the AngularCLI watch task
npm run bundle.mac	Bundles your MacOS app into the bundles directory
npm run bundle.windows	Bundles your Windows app into the bundles directory
npm run bundle.linux	Bundles your Linux app into the bundles directory

Features

• IPC Protocol - Send messages between Electron and Angular (plays beep when clicking Getting Started)
• Exposed Electron API via NgxElectronService
