Fable bindings and samples for Github Electron
The Electron framework lets you write cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. It is based on Node.js and Chromium and is used by the Atom editor and many other apps. https://github.com/electron/electron
To run the samples, electron needs to be available globally and in PATH.
npm install -g electron
or
sudo npm install -g electron
Every samples have a fableconfig.json file which contains configurations for fable. The only command needed is fable:
bash-3.2$ cd samples/material-ui/
bash-3.2$ fable
The npm packages should install and fable will compile the fsx.
bash-3.2$ fable
npm install
