You need to have these file/folder on root level of this project (review .gitignore)

• .env
• assets/images
• build/js (automatically gets created once you run - npm run watch)
• node_modules (automatically gets created once you run - npm install)

dependencies you need,

• npm i --save @popperjs/core (if you want to use bootstrap into react app)

• Please remove .git which is hidden in the directory, and run git init

index.js

import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'
import 'bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js';

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('Root'))

Boilerplate

npm install --save-dev webpack-merge

Now you just need to run npm run build in order to make a production build and produce an executable file for ready to use

After build, you will get a /build directory on root level of the project, and there will be a source map of code as well

npm start

NOTE: not this command will run your code as production build, so everytime you change your code, you have to build your project with npm run build and the npm start

#Build Process

npm install --save-dev electron-builder
