Build a Nuxt.js + Electron app for speed ⚡

(The screenshot above is a top page of examples/with-javascript.)

Support

nuxtron	nuxt
v0.x	v2.x

My Belief for Nuxtron

1. Show a way of developing desktop apps only web knowledge
2. Easy to use
3. Be transparent and open to OSS developers

Usage

Install

$ npm install --global nuxtron

Create Application

To create my-app, just run the command below:

$ nuxtron init my-app

Create Application with Template

You can use examples/* apps as a template.

To create the examples/with-typescript app, run the command below:

$ nuxtron init my-app --example with-typescript

Development Mode

Run npm run dev, and nuxtron automatically launches an electron app.

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "nuxtron"
  }
}

Production Build

Run npm run build, and nuxtron outputs packaged bundles under the dist folder.

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "nuxtron build"
  }
}

Build Options

To build Windows 32 bit version, run npm run build:win32 like below:

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "nuxtron build",
    "build:all": "nuxtron build --all",
    "build:win32": "nuxtron build --win --ia32",
    "build:win64": "nuxtron build --win --x64",
    "build:mac": "nuxtron build --mac --x64",
    "build:linux": "nuxtron build --linux"
  }
}

CAUTION: To build macOS binary, your host machine must be macOS!
