viteron vs vite

viteron vite
v0.x v1.0.0-rc.x

My Belief for viteron

  1. Show a way of developing desktop apps only web knowledge
  2. Easy to use
  3. Be transparent and open to OSS developers

Roadmaps

  • create-viteron-app
  • examples
    • with-javascript
    • with-typescript
    • and more...
  • documentation (README)

Usage

Create Application with Template

We can use examples/* as a template.

To create the examples/with-javascript, run the command below:

# with npm
$ npm init viteron-app MY_APP --example with-javascript

# with yarn
$ yarn create viteron-app MY_APP --example with-javascript

Run Electron with Development Mode

Run npm run dev, and viteron automatically launches an electron app.

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "viteron"
  }
}

Production Build

Run npm run build, and viteron outputs packaged bundles under the dist folder.

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "viteron build"
  }
}

Build Options

To build Windows 32 bit version, run npm run build:win32 like below:

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "viteron build",
    "build:all": "viteron build --all",
    "build:win32": "viteron build --win --ia32",
    "build:win64": "viteron build --win --x64",
    "build:mac": "viteron build --mac --x64",
    "build:linux": "viteron build --linux"
  }
}

CAUTION: To build macOS binary, your host machine must be macOS!

Build Configuration

Edit electron-builder.yml properties for custom build configuration.

appId: com.example.viteron

viteron.config.js

module.exports = {
  // specify an alternate main src directory, defaults to 'main'
  mainSrcDir: 'main',
  // specify an alternate renderer src directory, defaults to 'renderer'
  rendererSrcDir: 'renderer',
 
  // main process' webpack config
  webpack: (defaultConfig, env) => {
    // do some stuff here
    return defaultConfig;
  },
};

Additional Entries

module.exports = {
  webpack: (defaultConfig, env) => Object.assign(defaultConfig, {
    entry: {
      // electron main process
      background: './main/background.js',
      // we can require `config.js` by using `require('electron').remote.require('./config')`
      config: './main/config.js',
    },
  }),
};

Custom Babel Config

We can extends the default babel config of main process by putting .babelrc in our project root like this:

.babelrc:

{
  "presets": [
    "viteron/babel"
  ]
}
