Electron, Parcel and Typescript Boilerplate

This is a minimalistic demo about the way mixing Electron, Parcel and Typescript. And also React!

Features

• Automated building
• Whether it's the main or render process, the code is transpiled using Parcel, so it should be very fast.
• Fully typed, even with a hack that types the contextBridge.

How it works

During development, when running yarn start,

• Launch Parcel development server, loading public/template.html, which further loads src/renderer/index.tsx.
• Transpile src/main/index.ts and src/preload/index.ts, using the automation script in config, also with Parcel.
• Launch electron on dist/main/index.js.

when building (yarn build),

• Call npm run clean, which removes the dist/public directory to avoid redundant files.
• Build public/template.html using Parcel.
• Transpile src/main/index.ts and src/preload/index.ts, using the automation script in config, also with Parcel.
• Build the dist directory into the package, with nothing else.
