# electron-shadcn

Electron in all its glory. Everything you will need to develop your beautiful desktop application.

## Libs and tools

To develop a Electron app, you probably will need some UI, test, formatter, style or other kind of library or framework, so let me install and configure some of them to you.

### Engine ๐Ÿ๏ธ

- [Electron 30](https://www.electronjs.org)
- [Vite 5](https://vitejs.dev)
- [SWC](https://swc.rs)

### DX ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

- [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org)
- [Prettier](https://prettier.io)
- [Zod](https://zod.dev)
- [React Query (Tan Stack)](https://react-query.tanstack.com)

### UI ๐ŸŽจ

- [React](https://reactjs.org)
- [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com)
- [Shadcn UI](https://ui.shadcn.com)
- [Geist](https://vercel.com/font) as default font
- [i18next](https://www.i18next.com)
- [Lucide](https://lucide.dev)

### Test ๐Ÿงช

- [Jest](https://jestjs.io)
- [Playwright](https://playwright.dev)
- [React Testing Library](https://testing-library.com/docs/react-testing-library/intro)

### Packing and distribution ๐Ÿ“ฆ

- [Electron Forge](https://www.electronforge.io)

### Documentation ๐Ÿ“š

- [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org)

### CI/CD ๐Ÿš€

- Pre-configured [GitHub Actions workflow](https://github.com/LuanRoger/electron-shadcn/blob/main/.github/workflows/playwright.yml) workflow, for test with Playwright

### Project preferences ๐ŸŽฏ

- Use Context isolation
- `titleBarStyle`: hidden (Using custom title bar)
- Geist as default font
- Some default styles was applied, check the [`styles`](https://github.com/LuanRoger/electron-shadcn/tree/main/src/styles) directory

> If you don't know some of these libraries or tools, I recommend you to check their documentation to understand how they work and how to use them.

## Directory structure

```plaintext
.
โ””โ”€โ”€ ./src/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ./src/assets/
โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ ./src/assets/fonts/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ./src/components/
โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ ./src/components/ui/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ./src/helpers/
โ”‚ โ””โ”€โ”€ ./src/helpers/ipc/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ./src/layout/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ./src/lib/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ./src/pages/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ./src/stories/
โ”œโ”€โ”€ ./src/style/
โ””โ”€โ”€ ./src/tests/
```

- `src/`: Main directory
- `assets/`: Store assets like images, fonts, etc.
- `components/`: Store UI components
- `ui/`: Store Shadcn UI components (this is the default direcotry used by Shadcn UI)
- `helpers/`: Store IPC related functions to be called in the renderer process
- `ipc/`: Directory to store IPC context and listener functions
- Some implementations are already done, like `theme` and `window` for the custom title bar
- `layout/`: Directory to store layout components
- `lib/`: Store libraries and other utilities
- `pages/`: Store app's pages
- `stories/`: Store Storybook stories
- `style/`: Store global styles
- `tests/`: Store tests (from Jest and Playwright)

## NPM script

To run any of those scripts:

```bash
npm run
```

- `start`: Start the app in development mode
- `package`: Package your application into a platform-specific executable bundle and put the result in a folder.
- `make`: Generate platform-specific distributables (e.g. .exe, .dmg, etc) of your application for distribution.
- `publish`: Electron Forge's way of taking the artifacts generated by the `make` command and sending them to a service somewhere for you to distribute or use as updates.
- `prett`: Run Prettier to format the code
- `storybook`: Start Storybook
- `build-storybook`: Run the Storybook's build command
- `test`: Run the default unit-test script (Jest)
- `test:watch`: Run the default unit-test script in watch mode (Jest)
- `test:unit`: Run the Jest tests
- `test:e2e`: Run the Playwright tests
- `test:all`: Run all tests (Jest and Playwright)

The test scripts involving Playwright require the app be builded before running the tests. So, before run the tests, run the `package`, `make` or `publish` script.
