A boilerplate application to start an electron application with angular 1

electron-angular1-boilerplate

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.

You can learn more about each of these components within the Quick Start Guide.

To Use

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/juanda/electron-angular.git
# Go into the repository
cd electron-angular
# Install dependencies for main process
npm install
# Install dependencies for renderer rprocess
cd renderer
bower install

# Run the app
cd ..
npm start

The management of the main process is made with npm (package.json), while the renderer process is managed with bower (renderer/bower.json). This way I can work as I use to do when developping web apps.
