Introduction to Electron

Electron is a framework for creating native Desktops applications with web technologies like Javascript,HTML and CSS.

It is compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux. It uses Chromium and Node.js .

Install Node.js before proceeding with Electron.

A basic Electron application needs just these files:

• package.json - Points to the app's main file and lists its details and dependencies.
• main.js - Starts the app and creates a browser window to render HTML. This is the app's main process.
• index.html - A web page to render. This is the app's renderer process.

You can learn more about each of these components within the Quick Start Guide.
