electron-quick-start-serialport

Basic app running Electron with serialport included. (tested on Win7x64 using node 6.1.0)

Install and run it:

git clone https://github.com/paulolc/electron-quick-start-serialport
cd electron-quick-start-serialport
npm install && npm start

In order to achieve this, node-pre-gyp needs to be called explicitely with the necessary command line parameters. This is done on the scripts/install option of package.json:

(...)
  "scripts": {
    "install": "node-pre-gyp install --f(...)",
(...)

NOTE: On Windows you'll still need the VS+python build stuff in order the serialport native module to compile (via node-gyp). That is, until the guys at serialport distribute the binary for node-pre-gyp to support Electron 1.1.0 serialport#812

##Roadmap

Keep this quick-start app in sync with the latest Electron releases.

##Original readme:

Clone and run for a quick way to see an Electron in action.

This is a minimal Electron application based on the Quick Start Guide within the Electron documentation.

Use this app along with the Electron API Demos app for API code examples to help you get started.

A basic Electron application needs just these files:

  • package.json - Points to the app's main file and lists its details and dependencies.
  • main.js - Starts the app and creates a browser window to render HTML. This is the app's main process.
  • index.html - A web page to render. This is the app's renderer process.

You can learn more about each of these components within the Quick Start Guide.
