Introduction

This application is a fork of angular-electron with ngx-admin transplanted into it.

Currently runs with:

• Angular v6.0.5
• Electron v2.0.3
• Electron Builder v20.13.4
• Nebular v2.0.0-rc.9

Because this is an Angular + Electron app, you can:

• Run your app in a local development environment with Electron & Hot reload
• Run your app in a production environment
• Package your app into an executable file for Linux, Windows & Mac

Getting Started

Install dependencies with npm :

npm install

If you want to generate Angular components with Angular-cli , you MUST install @angular/cli in npm global context.
Please follow Angular-cli documentation if you had installed a previous version of angular-cli.

npm install -g @angular/cli

Browser mode

Maybe you want to execute the application in the browser with hot reload ? You can do it with npm run ng:serve:web.
Note that you can't use Electron or NodeJS native libraries in this case. Please check providers/electron.service.ts to watch how conditional import of electron/Native libraries is done.

To build for development

npm start:electron

Voila! You can use your Angular + Electron app in a local development environment with hot reload !

The application code is managed by main.ts. The app runs with a simple Angular App on localhost:4200 and an Electron window.

You can deactivate "Developer Tools" by commenting win.webContents.openDevTools(); in main.ts.
