Not able to setup the project

[rajendrasp]

I am trying to use the react windows ui repo.

I pulled the source and run commands mentioned in the file - npm-scripts.txt. But getting the following error when running "npm run deploy". I did not see any documentation on how to use this repo. Can you please help me?

PS C:\D\Learnings\ReactWindowsUI\VirtualVivek\src\react-windows-ui> npm run deploy

Thank you for reply. I could launch the app in web using the setup instructions above. Also, is this app a windows application or just a web app? And if it is a windows app, how to launch it? Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Hi @rajendrasp , Glad to see your approach, Actually This repository is build on intention to provide developers the closest Windows Fluent UI possible, so that you can't need to learn different languages to build Windows native apps ,

Yes, you can build a Native App from your working web app, use electronjs or Node GUI just google ‣how to use electronjs with react app or ‣how to use Node GUI with react app it takes 10-20 mins to build a native windows / mac app if you have your working web app.

Conclusion

It's a web app with windows native ui react components, its been build to generate fully native windows apps using electronjs or NodeGUI.

[rajendrasp]

Thanks a lot Vivek. I really like what you have done with windows ui. I was able to create a desktop native app using electron. Do you develop this lib regularly? Do you plan to keep adding new components to this?

[virtualvivek]

Hi @rajendrasp , 😊 Thank you for your grateful response, Yes i do update this lib on regular basis or sometimes when a new windows update comes with some new bunch of components.
