# Changelog
2+
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
3+
4+
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
5+
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
6+
7+
## [Unreleased]
8+
9+
## 2.0.0 - 2018-02-04
10+
v2.0.0 is a major release that most part of the boilerplate has been rewritten.
11+
12+
### Added
13+
- ESLint for code checking on Javascript files.
14+
- Airbnb's extensible `.eslintrc` package & its' peer dependencies.
15+
- `.eslintrc` that extends Airbnb's config and has customised rules configured.
16+
- _Rule `no-default-export` is set for JavaScript files to align with
17+
TypeScript._
18+
- ESLint plugin `eslint-import-resolver-webpack` for ESLint to resolve path
19+
aliases set in Webpack config.
20+
- Webpack plugin `copy-pkg-json-webpack-plugin` to generate a `package.json`
21+
file and pack into Webpack's bundled package for production.
22+
- Build commands `build:mac` & `build:win` to package & build the installer of
23+
your Electron app for macOS & Windows using `electron-builder`.
24+
- README section "Building the installer for your Electron app" & sub-section
25+
"Extra options".
26+
27+
### Changed
28+
- Refactored Webpack config file to have `mainConfig` & `rendererConfig`
29+
cleaned up, and set mode by environment variable.
30+
- `.gitignore` to ignore folder `out/` which will be auto-generated during the
31+
build process.
32+
- README section "How does it work?" is now renamed to "Getting started" &
33+
completed the documentation of this section.
34+
- README section "Folder structure" to reflect the changes in `v2.0.0`.
35+
36+
### Fixed
37+
- CSS files fail to inject into views issue by setting Webpack to use
38+
`style-loader` alongside with `css-loader` to bundle the files in Webpack
39+
config file.
40+
- `baseUrl` in `tsconfig.json` points to root directory incorrectly issue.
41+
Corrected to current directory so VSCode can resolves the path aliases
42+
correctly.
43+
44+
### Removed
45+
- Redux & React-Redux related settings, including packages listed on
46+
`devDependencies`, path aliases & folders listed in folder structure.
47+
- Since Electron's built-in IPC & basic React states should be enough to get
48+
the works done, and most Electron apps which have their application logic
49+
runs on Electron's `main` process rather then `renderer` process actually
50+
don't need React-Redux, `redux` & `react-redux` are no longer included in
51+
this boilerplate.
52+
- Redux & React-Redux can still be used on this boilerplate by installing the
53+
package yourself. For details, please refer to the corresponding library's
54+
documents, there's no different than working on any other project which
55+
isn't based on this boilerplate.
56+
- Separated Webpack config files for `development` & `production` mode.

# Electron-React-TypeScript-Webpack-Boilerplate
2+
Pre-configured Electron.js + React.js + TypeScript boilerplate with
3+
Webpack v4 & linters config predefined.
24

3-
This is a pre-configured Electron.js + React.js + TypeScript project with
4-
webpack v4 & TSLint config provided. `react-router` & `react-redux` is listed
5-
in dependencies section of `package.json`, and the folder structure is redux
6-
ready.
5+
This boilerplate currently works on macOS and Windows. If something doesn't
6+
work, please [file and issue](https://github.com/Devtography/electron-react-typescript-webpack-boilerplate/issues/new).

## **How Does It Work?**

```

## Getting started

```bash

// execute
1111
git clone https://github.com/iamWing/electron-react-typescript-base-proj.git
12+
```

## **Folder structure:**
34+
Then install all the `node_modules` needed by executing the following command:
35+
```bash
36+
cd {folder-containing-the-cloned-boilerplate}
37+
npm run install
38+
```
39+
40+
Finally execute the following command to start Webpack in development mode and
41+
watch the changes on source files.
42+
```bash
43+
npm run dev
44+
```
45+
46+
## Building the installer for your Electron app
47+
The boilerplate is currently configured to package & build the installer of
48+
your app for macOS & Windows using `electron-builder`.
49+
50+
For macOS, execute:
51+
```bash
52+
npm run build:mac
53+
```
54+
55+
For Windows, execute:
56+
```bash
57+
npm run build:win
58+
```
59+
_** `asar` archiving is disabled by default in Windows build as it can cause
60+
errors while running the installed Electron app based on pervious experiences,
61+
whereas the macOS build with `asar` enabled works just fine. You can turn it
62+
back on by removing line 23 (`"asar": false`) in `package.json`. **_
63+
64+
### Extra options
65+
The build scripts are pre-configured to build 64 bit installers since 64 bit
66+
should be the standard for a modern applications. 32 bit builds are still
67+
possible by changing the build scripts in `package.json` as below:
68+
```json
69+
// from
70+
"scripts": {
71+
...
72+
"build:win": "electron-builder build --win --x64",
73+
"build:mac": "electron-builder build --mac --x64"
74+
},
75+
76+
// to
77+
"scripts": {
78+
...
79+
"build:win": "electron-builder build --win --ia32",
80+
"build:mac": "electron-builder build --mac --ia32"
81+
},
82+
```
83+
84+
Builds for Linux, armv71, and arm64 can also be configured by modifying the
85+
build scripts in `package.json`, but those aren't tested yet. For details,
86+
please refer to [documents of `electron-builder`](https://www.electron.build/cli).
