Question
Is this starter still valid, given that TS is now first class citizen on Aurelia?
Would it be possible to update to latest status quo?
I've been busy with finals but when I took a quick look at the beta notes from aurelia and looking at their repos I was under the impression that they started supporting electron builds as well as typescript in their skeleton navigation apps.
Have you taken a look at skeleton-navigation-typescript? Let me know if that is what I think it is (in which case I'll update the readme of this repo to point people to that other repo). On the other hand, if it's not exactly what this repo was meant to achieve then do let me know and I'll update this repo after my last final on Thursday.
Ok, I missed the Electron part of it, so very good. What seems to be missing is an end-to-end starter. So including server side, MongoDB and some clients. The maybe boring "to-do" or "Slack clone" demo would make a big difference in getting new people on board.
Hmm well using MongoDB as you suggested would fall more under the realm of server-side stuff which isn't really what aurelia is all about. On the other hand I might consider whipping up something using linvodb for a good ol' boring local to-do list app that's completely user-side (hence able to be run completely in electron). I'm a little hesitant though as not all apps need a full blown db and I also kind of want to wait and see how Aurelia Interface turns out so that I can stop using materialize css.
I know Aurelia is about the client. But still, I think the fast majority of apps also need some kind of server-processing. Even the "to-do" app benefits from synchronizing over all your devices. I think for one that the threshold to join the Aurelia ecosystem, is much lower with a welcome like this.
I would be the first to follow it ;)
