electron-edge-js-selfcontained

.NET and Node.js in-process on Electron
============

This is electron-edge-js fork with fixes to .net core 2.2 and support for self-contained deployment.

As for now works only with .net core 2.2 + macOS/Windows

This is a fork of edge-js adapted to support Electron.

Compatible with
* Electron 1.6.x - Node.js v7.4.0.
* Electron 1.7.x - Node.js v7.9.0.
* Electron 1.8.x - Node.js v8.2.1.
* Electron 2.0.x - Node.js v8.9.3.
* Electron 3.0.x - Node.js v10.2.0.
* Electron 4.0.4+ - Node.js v10.11.0.

Usage is the same as edge or edge-js, replace require('edge') or require('edge-js') with require('electron-edge-js-selfcontained'):

``bash
npm install electron-edge-js
`

`diff
-var edge = require('edge-js');
+var edge = require('electron-edge-js-selfcontained');

var helloWorld = edge.func(function () {/*
async (input) => {
return ".NET Welcomes " + input.ToString();
}
*/});
`




Why use electron-edge-js?



Electron is built using specific version of Node.js. In order to use edge in Electron project you would need to recompile it using the same Node.js version.

electron-edge-js comes precompiled with correct Node.js versions.
