Usage

Install

npm i electron-vite -D

Development & Build

In a project where electron-vite is installed, you can use electron-vite binary directly with npx electron-vite or add the npm scripts to your package.json file like this:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "electron-vite preview",
    "dev": "electron-vite dev",
    "prebuild": "electron-vite build"
  }
}

Configuration

When running electron-vite from the command line, electron-vite will automatically try to resolve a config file named electron.vite.config.js inside project root. The most basic config file looks like this:

// electron.vite.config.js
export default {
  main: {
    // vite config options
  },
  preload: {
    // vite config options
  },
  renderer: {
    // vite config options
  }
}

Getting Started

Clone the electron-vite-boilerplate or use the create-electron tool to scaffold your project.

npm create @quick-start/electron@latest
