This repository contains code for https://releases.electronjs.org, which provides release status information for the Electron project.
The website is a simple Node.js app built using Express and Handlebars.js.
To run the app locally, install dependencies and run the start
script:
yarn
yarn start
When developing locally, you may want to use the watch
script instead, which watches for file changes using nodemon.
The app pulls release information from GitHub, and local usage (especially going through pages of past releases) may hit the rate limit for anonymous GitHub usage. You can provide a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) by setting the GITHUB_TOKEN
environment variable before running the app locally, which will have higher rate limits.
