OpenSprints Electron Build Status

Install for Development or Building Locally

Install NVM

To install or update nvm, you can use the install script using cURL:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash

or Wget:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash

The script clones the nvm repository to ~/.nvm and adds the source line to your profile (~/.bash_profile, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, or ~/.bashrc).

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && . "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm

Any issues with NVM install can be solved by reading their README.

Install node version 8 using nvm:

$ nvm install 8

Install Electron Dependencies

Electron has certain dependencies on each system and those need to be installed for Electron to build correctly.

Linux Build Instructions

macOS Build Instructions

Windows Build Instructions

After those dependencies are taken care of, we can finally grab the source code for this project and have it grab it's dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/opensprints/opensprints-electron.git
$ cd opensprints-electron
$ npm install

Run

$ npm run dev

Package

$ npm run package

Linux:

$ npm run package-linux

Mac:

$ npm run package-mac

Also to create a Mac installer .dmg after package:

$ npm run create-installer-mac

Windows:

$ npm run package-win

To package apps for all platforms:

$ npm run package-all

To package apps with options:

$ npm run package -- --[option]

After build, you will find your build in release-builds folder.

Options

  • --name, -n: Application name (default: ElectronReact)
  • --version, -v: Electron version (default: latest version)
  • --asar, -a: asar support (default: false)
  • --icon, -i: Application icon
  • --all: pack for all platforms

test, tools, release folder and devDependencies in package.json will be ignored by default.

Externals

If you use any 3rd party libraries which can't be built with webpack, you must list them in your webpack.config.base.js

externals: [
  // put your node 3rd party libraries which can't be built with webpack here (mysql, mongodb, and so on..)
]

You can find those lines in the file.

CSS Modules

This boilerplate out of the box is configured to use css-modules.

All .css file extensions will use css-modules unless it has .global.css.

If you need global styles, stylesheets with .global.css will not go through the css-modules loader. e.g. app.global.css
