Writing Vue.js application is a pleasure to do. It is simple and developer experience(DX) is just too good. There are times when web application is the way to go.
There are times when a Desktop application is better than a web application. In the Vue.js eco-system there are many utilities available.
This Vue CLI Plugin is the simplest one. All one has to do is, install
it as a npm
package and you are ready to go. Though this project recommends to use Yarn
, but npm
also works. To add the plugin to the already build VueJS web application project, use the vue cli
as below.
vue add electron-builder
That is all. The next is to run the desktop application.
In development mode it is like this.
npm run electron:serve
The last is to build the application and that is done with this.
npm run electron:build
Happy coding.
