They have other boilerplates including one for Typescript and another for Webpack, so if you only want Typescript or Webpack check those out. If you don't want to use React or a frontend framework, we would've considered this more. They have a channel in the Electron Discord that is active daily. Option 2 - Electron Forge (Electron + Typescript + Webpack)Įlectron Forge had everything we were looking for and might be a simpler boilerplate to get started with versus our next option. For us, it didn't have the Electron support we were looking for. If you already have a Next.js site that you want to convert to an app, this is a viable solution. The latter started around the same time but is updated often (as recently as September 2022). The former hasn't been updated in 4 years, so we instantly passed on that. They've gotten so popular over the years that there are two packages involving Electron: Electron-Next and Nextron. You should be familiar with Next.js it's a product of Vercel. Option 1 - Electron-Next and Nextron (Electron + Next.js) Our Electron application boilerplate requirements There's a list of boilerplates/CLIs on the Electron site, but below we'll give you the rundown of each and ultimately the one we chose.

Finding the perfect Typescript/React boilerplate Today, we want to share with you, how you too can build a cross-platform desktop application quickly. We like to move quickly here, so writing one app in Electron that outputs for all three platforms was a no-brainer. app.whenReady().As you may have seen or heard, we recently released a desktop application named Code Snippets Manager for Linux, Windows, and macOS. This will create the application window for your app.
