Ideas for Sample Applications #967
Description
If somebody would be interested in contributing app samples, here are some ideas:
- How to inject a Preload Script
e.g. for setting up IPC messaging between web content and .net ap - Build Customization via electron-builder hook scripts
likebeforePack,afterPack,artifactBuildStarted,artifactBuildCompleted
This allows for example to manipulate or replace the*.desktopfile for Linux apps - A comprehensive sample for electron-builder.json
That's something you can hardly find anywhere... - Multi-Project Example
How you can have a base project with Electron.NET code that is shared by multiple Electron.NET apps - ElectronHostHook Sample
A sample project, showing just ElectronHostHook without any distractions - App Icons Sample
A working sample with icons for all 3 platforms (Win, Linux, Mac)
(for most of these, I can provide something based on which a sample can be created)
Note
A good sample should minimal in general. While it can be more complex in the topic that it demonstrates, everything aound that is unrelated must be as minimal as possible and should not use any other patterns - which might be elegant and useful - but they never are for the one who is interested in the topic of the sample - such things are just a distraction.
It's better to have many samples, each of which demonstrating one specific featuie or usage, than a huge all-in-one sample where a new user would have no clue where one feature ends and another one starts in the code.
