I get the following 2 errors when I did npm start (didn't change anything yet):

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process Uncaught Exception: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:30080 at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1022:11) at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1045:20) at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1090:14)

Hi, I landed here because I was looking for an "out-of-the-box" way to quickstart an electron project with angular 4+. This is quite good since it is what I was looking for, thank you.

But I made a search on NPM and couldn't find this, could you please publish this repo as a node package?
It would be great!
Keep the good work, cheers from Costa Rica!

I'm trying to get live-reload to work so that I can make changes to Angular files and have Electron automatically reload.

In one window I have running npm run start.watch. Whenever I change a file, it goes through the process of rebuilding. However, electron does not reload. I hit CMD+R to reload, and I'm greeted with a white screen.

Please explain to me where I'm failing to implement this right. The documentation is a bit spartan.

Hi,
I've clone your project, I've executed "npm i" and then "npm run start" but Electron displays the following error message:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:30080
at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11)
at exports._exceptionWithHostPort (util.js:1049:20)
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1081:14)

Obviously it's trying to call the local Angular App running on port 30080, but I don't know how to start it. Could you please provide this information ?
Another question: how do you suggest to proceed during the development of the Angular components and see the changes in real time inside Elecrton ? Could you provide more information about this ?
Thank you very much, your project is really useful !

Can you provide a starter with Angular/Electron dependencies as separate folders?
I have seen a demo on 'Pluralsight' that create a demo with Ionic 3/Electron as separate dependencies which reduce the bundle size drastically.

I am trying to implement this but I am getting an error.

Just trying to run yarn run start or npm run start (ofc after running npm install), electron boots up but gives the following error:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

Uncaught Exception:
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:30080
    at Object.exports._errnoException (util.js:1026:11)

Hello guys,

I was trying the PrimeNg template in this boilerplate project, but I could not get the jQuery to work, the same is not defined.

Searching in google found a possible solution, disable node integration, setting "BrowserWindow.nodeIntegration" to false.

But, as far as I could tell, this property does not exist when using the main Electron process written in Type Script.

Could someone help me with this?

Thank you everyone for the attention.

After npm i, npm run start complains:

> [email protected] build.tasks C:\Users\<user>\Projects\Personal\angular-electron-seed
> tsc tasks/*.ts --outDir tasks

error TS6053: File 'tasks/*.ts' not found.

As far as I understand this is a development depedency, and I don't know why the bundle is giving this error when run. The "watch" command does work.

My commands:
npm run build && npm bundle.linux

Full error:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

@sean-perkins First off thank you for this seed, it gave me some inspiration to make a seed of my own that worked with the @angular/cli without hacking around it.

I've started a seed that takes an alternative approach to many of the electron solutions out there. The seed uses gulp like this one, but doesn't require electron-connect and uses the the angular cli features for building and serving. It's still very much in its infancy but so far i have HMR, Live-Reload, and basic launching of the electron app. I proxy-ed the cli services with browserlink through gulp plugins and the electron process is monitored by nodemon for restarting it on changes. There is still a lot to do yet!! Everything is up to date with angular 5.x latest stable cli etc...

You can find the seed here
