Development

This section details the setup of a basic developmentment environment.

Getting Started

System Requirements

> npm install

Launch Application

> npm start

Build Installers

To build for your current platform.

> npm run dist:win

Visual Studio Code

All development of the launcher should be done using Visual Studio Code.

Paste the following into .vscode/launch.json

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Debug Main Process",
      "type": "node",
      "request": "launch",
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
      "program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/electron/cli.js",
      "args" : ["."],
      "outputCapture": "std"
    },
    {
      "name": "Debug Renderer Process",
      "type": "chrome",
      "request": "launch",
      "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
      "windows": {
        "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
      },
      "runtimeArgs": [
        "${workspaceFolder}/.",
        "--remote-debugging-port=9222"
      ],
      "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
    }
  ]
}

This adds two debug configurations.

Debug Main Process

This allows you to debug Electron's main process. You can debug scripts in the renderer process by opening the DevTools Window.

Debug Renderer Process

This allows you to debug Electron's renderer process. This requires you to install the Debugger for Chrome extension.

Note that you cannot open the DevTools window while using this debug configuration. Chromium only allows one debugger, opening another will crash the program.
