# Introduction



Bootstrap and package your project with Angular 7 and Electron (Typescript + SASS + Hot Reload) for creating Desktop applications.



Currently runs with:



- Angular v7.2.0

- Electron v4.0.0

- Electron Builder v20.28.1



With this sample, you can :



- Run your app in a local development environment with Electron & Hot reload

- Run your app in a production environment

- Package your app into an executable file for Linux, Windows & Mac



## Getting Started



Clone this repository locally :



``` bash

git clone https://github.com/maximegris/angular-electron.git

```



Install dependencies with npm :



``` bash

npm install

```



There is an issue with `yarn` and `node_modules` that are only used in electron on the backend when the application is built by the packager. Please use `npm` as dependencies manager.



If you want to generate Angular components with Angular-cli , you **MUST** install `@angular/cli` in npm global context.

Please follow [Angular-cli documentation](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli) if you had installed a previous version of `angular-cli`.



``` bash

npm install -g @angular/cli

```



## To build for development



- **in a terminal window** -> npm start



Voila! You can use your Angular + Electron app in a local development environment with hot reload !



The application code is managed by `main.ts`. In this sample, the app runs with a simple Angular App (http://localhost:4200) and an Electron window.

The Angular component contains an example of Electron and NodeJS native lib import.

You can disable "Developer Tools" by commenting `win.webContents.openDevTools();` in `main.ts`.



## Included Commands



|Command|Description|

|--|--|

|`npm run ng:serve:web`| Execute the app in the browser |

|`npm run build`| Build the app. Your built files are in the /dist folder. |

|`npm run build:prod`| Build the app with Angular aot. Your built files are in the /dist folder. |

|`npm run electron:local`| Builds your application and start electron

|`npm run electron:linux`| Builds your application and creates an app consumable on linux system |

|`npm run electron:windows`| On a Windows OS, builds your application and creates an app consumable in windows 32/64 bit systems |

|`npm run electron:mac`|  On a MAC OS, builds your application and generates a `.app` file of your application that can be run on Mac |



**Your application is optimised. Only /dist folder and node dependencies are included in the executable.**



## You want to use a specific lib (like rxjs) in electron main thread ?



You can do this! Just by importing your library in npm dependencies (not devDependencies) with `npm install --save`. It will be loaded by electron during build phase and added to the final package. Then use your library by importing it in `main.ts` file. Easy no ?



## Browser mode



Maybe you want to execute the application in the browser with hot reload ? You can do it with `npm run ng:serve:web`.

Note that you can't use Electron or NodeJS native libraries in this case. Please check `providers/electron.service.ts` to watch how conditional import of electron/Native libraries is done.
