electron-angular-example

An example desktop application written with Electron and Angular2.

Dev

First, install dependencies. This will also trigger jspm install for client deps.

$ npm install

Gulp will compile all typescript files.

$ gulp

For a list of available tasks, run gulp help.

If you're having problems with file resolution, you can inspect the ts-lint and compile-ts tasks by passing a debug switch:

$ gulp --debug

Run

$ npm start

Build

Execute a build specific to your dev machine using the build.js wrapper script (which provides system defaults and other stuff around electron-packager).

$ node build.js

On x64 OS X for example, you can now run this from the builds directory:

$ open builds/darwin/x64/ElectronAngularExample.app

You may also run a specific build using the defined gulp tasks. These are pre-configured invocations of node build.js.

$ gulp build:linux:32
$ gulp build:linux:64
$ gulp build:darwin:64
$ gulp build:windows:32
$ gulp build:windows:64

Running all cross-platform builds is rolled up into gulp release.

TODO

• Packaging of cross-platform releases?
• Icon settings
• OS X Signing
