• This boilerplate is based on electron-webpack, the template comes packed with...

  • Use of webpack-dev-server for development
  • HMR for both renderer and main processes
  • Use of babel-preset-env that is automatically configured based on your electron version
  • Use of electron-builder to package and build a distributable electron application

  Make sure to check out electron-webpack's documentation for more details.

• A React app which is similar to CRA is added as the renderer.
