This repository is a boilerplate for building desktop applications using Electron, Vue 3, and Vite. It provides a pre-configured setup that includes a main process (handling application lifecycle and window creation), a preload script (securely exposing Electron and Node.js APIs to the renderer via contextBridge), and a renderer process (built with Vue and Vite). The project includes demos showing inter-process communication (IPC) and direct Node.js usage in the renderer. The architecture follows the standard Electron model, with the main process managing the application lifecycle and the renderer process running the Vue application. Vite is used as the build tool for all processes (main, preload, and renderer), leveraging vite-plugin-electron to handle Electron-specific build configurations such as sourcemaps, minification, and dependency externalization. The preload script exemplifies best practices by using contextBridge to expose only the necessary IPC methods, avoiding the security risks of enabling nodeIntegration or disabling contextIsolation. While the project is relatively simple and serves as a starting point, it contains several reusable patterns and configurations. Notably, the Vite configuration (vite.config.ts) demonstrates a non-obvious but effective way to set up Vite for Electron builds, including separate configurations for the main and preload processes. The preload script also contains reusable DOM utility functions (domReady and safeDOM) and a secure pattern for exposing Electron APIs. Overall, the boilerplate is well-structured, adheres to modern Electron and Vue practices, and provides a solid foundation for building Electron applications with Vue and Vite.
