The Earn-A-Bike Shop Manager is a desktop application built with Electron that tracks manager and volunteer hours for a bike shop. It was originally built for Worcester Earn-A-Bike Shop.
- Tracks manager and volunteer visit info (date, hours, time in, time out, notes)
- Manage bikes earned by volunteers, including a safety checklist that must be completed before bike is signed off
- Users and managers can update contact information
- Can export data to CSV for easy analysis
This app is built with React, Redux and Electron. Also uses Stylus for css and electron-json-config for data persistence.
Install dependencies:
yarn install
To start the webpack server, run:
yarn dev
In another console tab, run Electron simultaneously:
yarn testDev
Chrome dev tools are opened automatically in dev.
Super easy with webpack and electron, just run the following commands.
Build app:
yarn build
Package to Mac app:
yarn package-mac
Package to Windows app:
yarn package-win
Output will be in /builds.
Since this app is intended to run on a particular desktop computer, it can be updated by replacing the old version of the build with the new version on that machine.
User data is persisted in between instances by electron-json-config in app.getPath('userData')/config.json, which is loaded when the app starts, so there should be no need to re-import data.
However, if the data structure changed between versions, use src/utils/updateData.js to update the data accordingly on first run. At some point I'll figure out automatic updates...
