Lightstreamer - Basic Stock-List Demo - Electron Client

This project contains a demo application showing the integration between the Lightstreamer JavaScript Client library and Electron.

Details

This demo displays real-time market data for ten stocks generated by a feed simulator and is based on Basic Stock-List Demo.
This project shows how is it possible to integrate the JavaScript Client API for Lightstreamer into Electron, in order to quickly create cross-platform desktop apps embedding real-time web technologies.

Install

If you want to install a version of this demo pointing to your local Lightstreamer Server, create a local clone of this repository on your computer and follow these steps:

• If you don't have npm installed on your system, please install it.
• Note that, as prerequisite, the Lightstreamer - Stock- List Demo - Java Adapter has to be deployed on your local Lightstreamer Server instance. Please check out that project and follow the installation instructions provided with it.
• Launch Lightstreamer Server.
• Get the lightstreamer.min.js file from npm or unpkg and put it in the js folder of the demo (if that is the case, please create it).
• From command line go into the Lightstreamer-example-StockList-client-electron folder and run npm install.

The client demo configuration assumes that Lightstreamer Server, Lightstreamer Adapters, and this client are launched on the same machine. If you need to target a different Lightstreamer server, please search this line:

var lsClient = new LightstreamerClient(protocolToUse+"//localhost:"+portToUse,"DEMO");

in renderer.js and change it accordingly.

The demo is now ready to be launched with npm start.

Build

To build the app by using Electron Forge, run the command npm run make.

Electron Forge creates the out folder where your package will be located.
