How to support copy paste in electron

Issue #67

After running electron-packager, the app does not accept copy, paste anymore. This is because the release build does not have menu with key binding to the clipboard by default. We can solve this by manually declaring the menu

const {app} = require('electron')
const Menu = require('electron').Menu

app.on('ready', () => {
  createWindow()
  createMenu()
})

function createMenu() {
  const application = {
    label: "Application",
    submenu: [
      {
        label: "About Application",
        selector: "orderFrontStandardAboutPanel:"
      },
      {
        type: "separator"
      },
      {
        label: "Quit",
        accelerator: "Command+Q",
        click: () => {
          app.quit()
        }
      }
    ]
  }

  const edit = {
    label: "Edit",
    submenu: [
      {
        label: "Undo",
        accelerator: "CmdOrCtrl+Z",
        selector: "undo:"
      },
      {
        label: "Redo",
        accelerator: "Shift+CmdOrCtrl+Z",
        selector: "redo:"
      },
      {
        type: "separator"
      },
      {
        label: "Cut",
        accelerator: "CmdOrCtrl+X",
        selector: "cut:"
      },
      {
        label: "Copy",
        accelerator: "CmdOrCtrl+C",
        selector: "copy:"
      },
      {
        label: "Paste",
        accelerator: "CmdOrCtrl+V",
        selector: "paste:"
      },
      {
        label: "Select All",
        accelerator: "CmdOrCtrl+A",
        selector: "selectAll:"
      }
    ]
  }

  const template = [
    application,
    edit
  ]

  Menu.setApplicationMenu(Menu.buildFromTemplate(template))
}
