I got fed up with the electron quickstart not having what I wanted in it, so I made my own.
This repo is a quickstart for electron, using Grunt to transpile all the code.
When you run grunt, it will:
-
Compiles pug into HTML.
-
Compiles less into CSS.
-
Compiles coffeescript into JavaScript.
-
Watch the directory for any changes and compile them.
So, just run grunt and continue your developement in the src directory.
There is also a compile script in package.json that just run the
compilation steps without watching the directory. You can use this with
npm run compile.
-
Why don't you include [something else]? Either because I haven't heard of it, or because I don't really like it. Either way, send me a pull request and see how it goes.
-
I hate (coffeescript|pug|less). That's not a question. But you're entitled to your opinon! I, however, do like them, and will continue to use them.
-
You just made these questions up based on what you thought people would ask, didn't you? You shut your mouth.
You can use JSX in coffeescript, and it will be converted directly into DOM
elements (Which vastly reduces the typical amount of resource usage you see from
using frameworks). This is done through Babel. All your render modules that use
this must include jsx-dom (which is just a file in this repo):
JSXDom = require './jsx-dom'
