todbot / electron-hid-toy

Simple example of using node-hid in Electron (w/ React)

electron-hid-toy

A simple Electron app to experiment with node-hid.

Also see electron-hid-test-erb for a test using electron-react-boilerplate

Tested on Electron v9.0.5. Originally tested on Electron v1.2.6.

To use:

yarn
yarn dev

To build the application:

yarn
yarn dist

Notes:

• On MacOS, running yarn dist will attempt to sign and notarize the app. This takes several minutes and requires setting the environment variables:

  • APPLEID -- developer Apple ID
  • APPLEIDPASS -- app-specific password for above Apple ID
  • TEAM_SHORT_NAME -- team short name, as provided by /Applications/Transporter.app/Contents/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter -m provider -u $APPLEID -p $APPLEIDPASSWD
