# electron-react-file-management

electron react app based on [electron-react-boilerplate](https://github.com/chentsulin/electron-react-boilerplate).

## Run
* **Note: requires a node version >= 6 and an npm version >= 3.**

Run these two commands __simultaneously__ in different console tabs.

```bash
$ npm run hot-server
$ npm run start-hot
```

or run two servers with one command

```bash
$ npm run dev
```

## Editor Configuration
**Atom**
```bash
apm install editorconfig es6-javascript autocomplete-flow javascript-snippets linter linter-eslint language-babel
```

**Sublime**
* https://github.com/sindresorhus/editorconfig-sublime#readme
* https://github.com/SublimeLinter/SublimeLinter3
* https://github.com/roadhump/SublimeLinter-eslint
* https://github.com/babel/babel-sublime

**Others**
* [Editorconfig](http://editorconfig.org/#download)
* [ESLint](http://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/integrations#editors)
* Babel Syntax Plugin

## DevTools

#### Toggle Chrome DevTools

- OS X: Cmd Alt I or F12
- Linux: Ctrl Shift I or F12
- Windows: Ctrl Shift I or F12

*See [electron-debug](https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-debug) for more information.*

#### DevTools extension

This boilerplate is included following DevTools extensions:

* [Devtron](https://github.com/electron/devtron) - Install via [electron-debug](https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-debug).
* [React Developer Tools](https://github.com/facebook/react-devtools) - Install via [electron-devtools-installer](https://github.com/GPMDP/electron-devtools-installer).
* [Redux DevTools](https://github.com/zalmoxisus/redux-devtools-extension) - Install via [electron-devtools-installer](https://github.com/GPMDP/electron-devtools-installer).

You can find the tabs on Chrome DevTools.

If you want to update extensions version, please set `UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS` env, just run:

```bash
$ UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS=1 npm run dev

# For Windows
$ set UPGRADE_EXTENSIONS=1 && npm run dev
```

## CSS Modules

This boilerplate out of the box is configured to use [css-modules](https://github.com/css-modules/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`

If you want to import global css libraries (like `bootstrap`), you can just write the following code in `.global.css`:

```css
@import "~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css";
```

## Packaging

To package apps for the local platform:

```bash
$ npm run package
```

To package apps for all platforms:

First, refer to [Multi Platform Build](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/wiki/Multi-Platform-Build) for dependencies.

Then,
```bash
$ npm run package-all
```

To package apps with options:

```bash
$ npm run package -- --[option]
```

## Further commands

To run the application without packaging run

```bash
$ npm run build
$ npm start
```

To run End-to-End Test

```bash
$ npm run build
$ npm run test-e2e
```

#### Options

See [electron-builder CLI Usage](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder#cli-usage)

#### Module Structure

This boilerplate uses a [two package.json structure](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder#two-packagejson-structure).

1. If the module is native to a platform or otherwise should be included with the published package (i.e. bcrypt, openbci), it should be listed under `dependencies` in `./app/package.json`.
2. If a module is `import`ed by another module, include it in `dependencies` in `./package.json`. See [this ESLint rule](https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/blob/master/docs/rules/no-extraneous-dependencies.md).
3. Otherwise, modules used for building, testing and debugging should be included in `devDependencies` in `./package.json`.

## Static Type Checking
This project comes with Flow support out of the box! You can annotate your code with types, [get Flow errors as ESLint errors](https://github.com/amilajack/eslint-plugin-flowtype-errors), and get [type errors during runtime](https://github.com/gcanti/babel-plugin-tcomb-boilerplate) during development. Types are completely optional.

## Native-like UI

If you want to have native-like User Interface (OS X El Capitan and Windows 10), [react-desktop](https://github.com/gabrielbull/react-desktop) may perfect suit for you.

## Dispatching redux actions from main process

see discusses in [#118](https://github.com/chentsulin/electron-react-boilerplate/issues/118) and [#108](https://github.com/chentsulin/electron-react-boilerplate/issues/108)

## How to keep the boilerplate updated
