To get started:

• Run npm install

Development

• Run npm run dev to start webpack-dev-server. Electron will launch automatically after compilation.

Production

You have two options, an automatic build or two manual steps

One Shot

• Run npm run package to have webpack compile your application into dist/bundle.js and dist/index.html, and then an electron-packager run will be triggered for the current platform/arch, outputting to builds/

Manual

Recommendation: Update the "postpackage" script call in package.json to specify parameters as you choose and use the npm run package command instead of running these steps manually

• Run npm run build to have webpack compile and output your bundle to dist/bundle.js
• Then you can call electron-packager directly with any commands you choose

If you want to test the production build (In case you think Babili might be breaking something) after running npm run build you can then call npm run prod. This will cause electron to load off of the dist/ build instead of looking for the webpack-dev-server instance. Electron will launch automatically after compilation.
