Install dependencies with npm :

npm install

There is an issue with yarn and node_modules that are only used in electron on the backend when the application is built by the packager. Please use npm as dependencies manager.

If you want to generate Angular components with Angular-cli , you MUST install @angular/cli in npm global context.
Please follow Angular-cli documentation if you had installed a previous version of angular-cli.

npm install -g @angular/cli

To build for development

  • in a terminal window -> npm start

Voila! You can use your Angular + Electron app in a local development environment with hot reload !

The application code is managed by main.ts. In this sample, the app runs with a simple Electron window and "Developer Tools" is open.
The Angular component contains an example of Electron and NodeJS native lib import. See Use NodeJS Native libraries charpter if you want to import other native libraries in your project.
You can desactivate "Developer Tools" by commenting win.webContents.openDevTools(); in main.ts.

To build for production

  • Using development variables (environments/index.ts) : npm run electron:dev
  • Using production variables (environments/index.prod.ts) : npm run electron:prod

Your built files are in the /dist folder.
