Create a project in Electron.js

Now we are going to create a typical hello world application with Electron and run it to display it in an application window.

In your workspace, we are going to create a folder for the project that we are going to carry out:

$ mkdir <project-name>

For example:

$ mkdir chat-app
$ cd chat-app

At this point, you can drag the previous folder to your VSC or preferred editor to start working on this project, a project that is currently completely empty; now, we need to initialize our new project with the npm tool using the following command:

$ npm init

The above command initializes a project in Node and will generate the package.json file for us; which contains project metadata, as well as commands, version number, dependencies, among others:

package.json

{
  "name": "electron-chat2",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
}

Now with this, we can install our Electron.js with the following command:

$ npm i -D electron@latest

With the previous command, we install the latest version of the popular framework, ready to develop applications; remember that the previous material is part of my complete course on Electron.js

The next step is, crear tu aplicación en Electron.

Develop with Laravel, Django, Flask, CodeIgniter, HTML5, CSS3, MySQL, JavaScript, Vue, Android, iOS, Flutter
