Electron Webpack / Typescript / Vue.js Boilerplate

Introduction

This is just another Electron boilerplate. I created this because anything I found over the internet failed to compile using current version of webpack due to a bug.

• webpack/webpack-sources#28
• webpack/webpack-sources/pull/27

This specific boilerplate provides

• Webpack support using electron-webpack
• Vue.js support using vue and electron-webpack-vue add-on
• Typescript support using typescript, tslint, ts-loader and electron-webpack-ts add-on
• Less support using less and less-loader

Installation

It is highly recommended to use Yarn package manager instead of NPM. As of today installing packages using NPM will result in failing webpack compilation.

# Clone the repository ...
$ git clone https://github.com/patrickberger/electron-webpack-ts-vue-boilerplate

# ... and install dependencies.
yarn

Available scripts:

# Run in development mode.
yarn dev

# Compile.
yarn compile

# Build an installer for your current platform.
yarn build
