Electron App Example using shadow-cljs.
npm install
npx shadow-cljs watch main renderer
npx electron .
Two builds are used. The :renderer build is a generic :browser build, used for the "BrowserWindow" parts which act like a normal browser. They are launched by the Electron "main" process. The :main build produces the output for the "main" as well as the Electron "preload". They are both node-ish contexts, so we can use a single :npm-module build to produce the necessary outputs.
The app/main.js and app/preload.js files act as the entry point which load and call the actual code. These are not strictly necessary, but I prefer it over having code that unconditionally runs when the namespace is loaded.
This requires using the helper files:
(ns demo.main)
(defn ^:export init []
(do-something))
This would not, and you would just point your package.json "main" directly at app/js/demo.main.js instead.
(ns demo.main)
(do-something)
