# electron-webpack-quick-start
> A bare minimun project structure to get started developing with `electron-webpack`.
Thanks to the power of `electron-webpack` this template comes packed with...
* Use of [`webpack-dev-server`](https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server) for development
* HMR for both `renderer` and `main` processes
* Use of [`babel-preset-env`](https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env) that is automatically configured based on your `electron` version
* Use of [`electron-builder`](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder) to package and build a distributable electron application
Make sure to check out [`electron-webpack`'s documentation](https://webpack.electron.build/) for more details.
## Getting Started
Simply clone down this reposity, install dependencies, and get started on your application.
The use of the [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) package manager is strongly recommended, as opposed to using `npm`.
```bash
# copy template using curl
2017-08-27 17:07:17 -04:00
curl -fsSL [repoLink]/archive/master.tar.gz | tar -xz --strip-components 1
2017-08-27 16:58:13 -04:00
# or copy template using git clone
git clone [repoLink]
cd electron-webpack-quick-start
rm -rf .git
# install dependencies
yarn
```
### Development Scripts
```bash
# run application in development mode
yarn dev
# compile source code and create webpack output
yarn compile

# `yarn compile` & create build with electron-builder
2017-08-27 16:58:13 -04:00
yarn dist
2017-08-27 17:42:01 -04:00
