Creates atom-shell based applications
npm install grunt-electron-app-builderThis is the first electron builder after atom-shell got renamed to electron in this pull - inspired from grunt-electron-app-builder
Helps build electron baed applications for mac, win and linux with grunt. It will download the prebuilt binaries for either the latest or a specific version, unpack them, and add your application source to the extracted distirbution.
npm install grunt-electron-app-builderThen add this line to your project's gruntfile:
``javascript`
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-electron-app-builder');
`javascript
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
'build-electron-app': {
options: {
platforms: ["darwin", "win32"]
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-electron-app-builder');
};
`
