phpMyAdmin on Electron

This simple project allows to run phpMyAdmin inside Electron. It's simply a default Electron build (see https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start) with gulp-connect-php, needed to run PHP.

You need npm and composer installed on your machine to get this working.

Installation

• clone this repository
• run npm install
• run composer install --no-dev
• enter in vendor/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin and run composer install --no-dev
• in the same dir, you need to apply the patch explained below

Apply a patch to get js working

There's an issue with get jQuery working with electron:

You need to implement the proposed solution:

Create a file vendor/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/js/fix_module_before.js with the content:

// see http://stackoverflow.com/a/37480521/369194
if (typeof module === 'object') {window.module = module; module = undefined;}

Create a file vendor/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/js/fix_module_after.js with the content:

// see http://stackoverflow.com/a/37480521/369194
if (window.module) module = window.module;

Then, edit vendor/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/libraries/Header.php and call above files:

$this->_scripts->addFile('fix_module_before.js');  // this is a line to add
$this->_scripts->addFile('jquery/jquery.min.js');  // this is an existing line
// ...
$this->_scripts->addFile('jquery/jquery.debounce-1.0.5.js');  // this is an existing line
$this->_scripts->addFile('fix_module_after.js');  // this is a line to add
$this->_scripts->addFile('menu-resizer.js');  // this is an existing line

I know, this workaround is a bit ugly. I'll try to open a PR to phpmyadmin repo and see if they accept it (since it's not affecting classic web behavior)

Execution

Run npm start
