Issue #352
For a normal electron app created with npm init, we can use all features of ES6, but not the JSX syntax for React. We can use just Babel to transpile JSX, as used in IconGenerator
.babelrc
js
{
"plugins": [
"transform-react-jsx-source"
],
"presets": ["env", "react"]
}And in package.json, call babel to transpile src to dist
js
"main": "dist/main.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "npm run babel && electron .",
"babel": "babel ./src --out-dir ./dist --copy-files"
},Remember to use dist/main.js as our starting point, and in index.html, specify ./dist/renderer.js
html
<body>
<div id="root" />
<script type="text/javascript">
require('./dist/renderer.js')
</script>
</body>
