How to not request download "electron" ?

[mzky]

Please excuse my poor English. I have a very small demo. After bundler, the file is in 80M, so it can be seen that the "electron" file is included, but I am still requesting to download the "electron" file when I run it. May I ask if there is anything else I need to configure?

bundler.js

{
  "app_name": "demo",
  "icon_path_darwin": "resources/icon.icns",
  "icon_path_linux": "resources/icon.png",
  "icon_path_windows": "resources/icon.ico",
  "environments": [
    {
      "arch": "amd64",
      "os": "linux"
    }
  ]
}

demo.go

package main

import (
    "log"
    "os"

    "github.com/asticode/go-astikit"
    "github.com/asticode/go-astilectron"
)

func main() {
    a, _ := astilectron.New(log.New(os.Stderr, "", 0), astilectron.Options{
        AppName:            "desktop",
        AppIconDefaultPath: "./icon.png",
    })
    defer a.Close()

    a.Start()

    var w, _ = a.NewWindow("https://www.google.com", &astilectron.WindowOptions{
        Center: astikit.BoolPtr(true),
    })
    w.Create()

    a.Wait()
}

Adding only the bundler.json file is not sufficient to use the bundler.

If you checkout the demo, you can see that everything is wrapped in the bootstrap.Run function which is mandatory if you want to use the bundler.

thank you for response . Yes, I saw the bootstrap.Run(bootstrap.Options{ thing, but I want to go directly to the URL. How does bootstrap.Run access URL. If I write it this way, the program won't re-download electron, but it will get an error.

package main

import (
    bootstrap "github.com/asticode/go-astilectron-bootstrap"
    "log"
    "os"

    "github.com/asticode/go-astikit"
    "github.com/asticode/go-astilectron"
)

func main() {
    bootstrap.Run(bootstrap.Options{
        Asset:         Asset,
        AssetDir:      AssetDir,
        RestoreAssets: RestoreAssets,
    })

    // Initialize astilectron
    a, _ := astilectron.New(log.New(os.Stderr, "", 0), astilectron.Options{
        AppName:            "demo",
        AppIconDefaultPath: "./icon.png",
    })
    defer a.Close()

    a.Start()

    var w, _ = a.NewWindow("https://www.google.com", &astilectron.WindowOptions{
        BackgroundColor: astikit.StrPtr("#333"),
        Center:          astikit.BoolPtr(true),
        Height:          astikit.IntPtr(700),
        Width:           astikit.IntPtr(700),
    })
    w.Create()

    a.Wait()
}

First off, in the code you share, the following part is useless :

// Initialize astilectron
    a, _ := astilectron.New(log.New(os.Stderr, "", 0), astilectron.Options{
        AppName:            "demo",
        AppIconDefaultPath: "./icon.png",
    })
    defer a.Close()

    a.Start()

    var w, _ = a.NewWindow("https://www.google.com", &astilectron.WindowOptions{
        BackgroundColor: astikit.StrPtr("#333"),
        Center:          astikit.BoolPtr(true),
        Height:          astikit.IntPtr(700),
        Width:           astikit.IntPtr(700),
    })
    w.Create()

    a.Wait()

bootstrap.Run will take care of doing that part

You can provide your URL directly in the bootstrap.Options. Checkout here.

It is running normally. Thank you again.
