Installation in a node.js (electron) application is a little different

[snipercup]

The examples work perfectly in a browser, but when loaded into a node.js application, it starts complaining about m not being defined. I found out that it's not loading mithril properly.

To fix it, I used NPM to install the mithril package and added "var m = require("mithril");" to editron-modules.js, which I have stored locally. Now I can load up your example, point to the local json files and it works.

Hi snipercup.

Thank you very much for the input. Per default, mithril is expected as an external dependency. This ensures, that only one mithril resource is loaded, if the application also uses mithril (mainly in browser contexts). It might be an option to prepare a separate nodejs-bundle in this case. I have not thought of electron in this context.

How did you embed editron within your application?

In most of may cases i directly compile editron and ensure that editron is compiled (or added) to my builds within the app-layer.

I put a <script> tag to the local editron js file in my application and it worked then.
