electron-react-webpack-quick-start

A minimal, cross-platform Electron application with React for views and Webpack. Set breakpoints and debug the main process with Visual Studio Code. ES6/ES2015 support using Babel.

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/jogleasonjr/electron-react-webpack-quick-start

Hot Reloading

To watch for local changes and trigger automatic refresh, run these two commands in separate console windows:

# Run in console window 1
npm run watch
# Run in console window 2

To Build and Run in Visual Studio Code

In Visual Studio Code, pressing Ctrl-Shift-B (Windows) or Cmd-Shift-B (OSX) will build and bundle the application, and pressing F5 will debug the application. Make sure you have the proper OS selection in the VS Code's Debug View.
