electron-webpack-obfuscation

A barebones boilerplate to get typescript, webpack, react, babel, obfuscation in prod AND hot reloading on the main and renderer working with electron. It's the real deal. 🎉

Prerequisites

You must have Node.js and yarn 1.2 installed on your computer. As well as a git implementation. I can reccomend git-scm.

Use of yarn is highly reccomended over npm. We will not accept PRs with a package-lock.json!! 😄

Writing with this boilerplate

I recommend using this with either WebStorm or VSCode, and installing the ESLint & Prettier extensions for VSCode. They will enable a clean code style for you and help you maintain your code quickly and easily.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/aabbccsmith/electron-webpack-obfuscation
$ cd electron-webpack-obfuscation
$ rm -rf .git
$ yarn install

After running these, you are ready to start writing code! It's that simple.

Usage

To start the app in development, run yarn dev. For compiling, run yarn dist.

Building

To compile the app, we use electron-builder. It's very versatile and supports many operating systems. Additionally, it supports the publishing of apps to GitHub, Amazon AWS S3 or even custom servers. Building is simple, simply run yarn dist and wait for the magic to happen. You will see a folder called dist is created. You may delete this after the build process has completed. Your releases (installers, zips, dmgs, etc...) can be found under release/
