Electron Projects

Integrating with the Electron shell

Now that you have got a working application, we need to install the Electron dependency and wire the Electron shell window with our code. Let's start by installing the library and updating the package file:

1. Run the following command to install the Electron dependency:

npm i electron

2. Update the package.json file and include the main property. Ensure that it points to the main.js file:

{  "name": "ebook-generator",  "version": "0.1.0",  "private": true,  "main": "main.js",  // ...}

3. While you have the package.json file open, update the scripts section and add the electron script to invoke the shell:

"scripts": {  "electron": "electron .",  "start": "node scripts/start.js", "build": "node scripts/build.js", ...
