Create Proton Native App

Create Proton Native apps with no build configuration. Works on Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Requirements

$3

``
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
`

$3

Install these libraries:
- libgtk-3-dev
- build-essential

Usage

`sh


install the cli

npm install -g create-proton-app

create your proton native app

create-proton-app my-app

got to your project directory and have fun!

cd my-app
npm run start
`


It will create a directory called my-app inside the current folder.

Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure and install Proton Native dependencies:

`
my-app
├── node_modules
├── package.json
├── index.js
└── .babelrc
`

Packaging

We use electron-builder to handle the packaging for your application. Produces bundles for Linux(appImages, snaps, deb, rpm, ...) and MacOs. Windows support is unstable.


`sh


build your app

npm run build

bundle it

npm run dist
``
Only a minimal build/packaging config is provided, as your application grows you should take a look to the documentation.

Contributing

We'd love to have your helping hand!
- If you like this tool and have an idea of how to improve it or want to add an additional feature, create an issue explaining your idea.
- Please, avoid using third party libraries for small/simple tasks, make sure we really need that library in our project, such a simple tool shouln't have lots of dependencies that at the same time have their own almost infinite dependency trees.
- If something doesn’t work, please file an issue.
- Be nice.
