Modern and Minimal Electron + React Starter Kit

Electron, React, Webpack -- Modern and up-to-date, with a handful of quality of life features included

Production builds babel-minify is used, and ES2015/ES6 transpilation is provided -- As modern node and chromium versions support 99%+ of the ES6 feature set, I feel those steps are unnecessary.

To get started:

• Run npm install

Development

• Run npm run dev to start webpack-dev-server. Electron will launch automatically after compilation.

Production

• Run npm run prod to open application with production setup. Webpack will compile and output your bundle to build/bundle.js. This will also cause electron to load off of the build/ build instead of looking for the webpack-dev-server instance. Electron will launch automatically after compilation.

Preparing installer package

• Run npm run package to create debian package (*.deb) installer from production build of the application. Package will be placed in dist/installers/ directory.
