electron-vite/electron-vite-vue
Electron Vite Vue
This project is a boilerplate and starter for building cross-platform desktop applications that integrate a web-based frontend with a native shell. It provides a pre-configured development environment combining Electron, Vite, and Vue to establish a frontend-driven desktop framework.
The setup features an integrated development workflow with hot module replacement and automatic reloading for both the main and renderer processes. This allows for real-time updates to the desktop application shell and user interface components without requiring manual restarts.
The project covers native system API integration, including support for compiled native addons and Node.js API access within the renderer process. It also includes systems for multi-window orchestration and the use of preload scripts to manage communication between the isolated renderer and the main process.
Features
- Electron-Based Development - Provides a comprehensive starter for developing cross-platform desktop applications using Electron and Vue.
- Preload Script Injections - Utilizes preload scripts to safely expose native system capabilities to the frontend environment before the renderer loads.
- Native System Integrations - Integrates web-based interfaces with underlying operating system commands and high-performance native C or C++ modules.
- Renderer Process Node.js Access - Enables the renderer process to interact directly with the underlying operating system using Node.js APIs.
- Inter-Process Communication Bridges - Implements a secure API bridge for communication between the isolated renderer process and the main system process.
- Multi-Process Architectures - Employs an architecture that isolates the main system process from individual renderer processes for improved stability and security.
- Component Tree Architectures - Organizes the user interface into a reactive hierarchy of reusable Vue components that synchronize state with the view.
- Desktop Application Frameworks - Provides a framework structure for executing system-level commands and managing native windows via a Vue interface.
- Desktop Application Boilerplates - Offers a scalable boilerplate for creating cross-platform desktop software by integrating a web frontend with a native shell.
- Electron Boilerplates - Ships a pre-configured project template combining Electron, Vite, and Vue for rapid desktop app development.
- Hot Code Reloading - Includes utilities that automatically update both main and renderer processes in real time to reflect code changes.
- Desktop Hot Reloaders - Provides mechanisms to monitor system-level scripts and automatically restart the desktop application shell during development.
- Module Bundling - Integrates Vite for ESM-based module bundling to enable instant hot module replacement for UI components.
- Electron Project Scaffolders - Includes scaffolding tools to bootstrap the initial directory structure and dependencies for Electron-based applications.
- Desktop And Universal - Simplifies boilerplate for Electron and Vite integration.
- Starter Templates - Electron template with Vue integration.
