electron-quick-start
Clone and run for a quick way to see Electron in action.
This is a minimal Electron application based on the Quick Start Guide within the Electron documentation.
A basic Electron application needs just these files:
package.json- Points to the app's main file and lists its details and dependencies.main.js- Starts the app and creates a browser window to render HTML. This is the app's main process.index.html- A web page to render. This is the app's renderer process.preload.js- A content script that runs before the renderer process loads.
You can learn more about each of these components in depth within the Tutorial.
