electron-prebuilt-compile

No Maintenance Intended

electron-prebuilt-compile is a drop-in replacement for electron-prebuilt that natively understands ES6 + React + LESS + some other languages, powered by electron-compile.

Installation

Download and install the latest build of electron for your OS and add it to your projects package.json as a devDependency:

npm install electron-prebuilt-compile --save-dev

Now you can just run electron to run electron:

electron

Electron will now understand ES6/ES7 and React components out-of-the-box, even in inline HTML:

<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/less" href="https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-prebuilt-compile/blob/master/main.less" />
</head>

<body id="host">
  <script type="application/javascript">
  import React from 'react';
  import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
  import TodoApp from './components/TodoApp';

  ReactDOM.render(React.createComponent(TodoApp), document.getElementById('host'));
  </script>
</body>
</html>
