Create a package.json file
You can use 'npm init' for this, or just your text editor. The example I can give is
{
"name": "electron1",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "electron .",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"devDependencies": {
"electron": "~1.7.8"
}
}
Create an index.html file
This will be the default screen of the app. The example I can give is
<html>
<body>
<h1>
Ha!</h1>
</body>
</html>
Create a index.js file
This will be the code behind the app. The example I have is
var electron = require('electron')
var app = electron.app
var path = require('path')
var url = require('url')
let mainWindow
function createWindow () {
// Create the browser window.
mainWindow = new electron.BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600})
// and load the index.html of the app.
mainWindow.loadURL(url.format({
pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'index.html'),
protocol: 'file:',
slashes: true
}))
// Emitted when the window is closed.
mainWindow.on('closed', function () {
// Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
// in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
// when you should delete the corresponding element.
mainWindow = null
})
}
// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
// Some APIs can only be used after this event occurs.
app.on('ready', createWindow)
Launch the app
There is a one-time command you need to execute:npm install
After that is done you can launch your app using
npm start
