## Development
### Getting Started
**System Requirements**
* [Node.js][nodejs] v10.x.x
---
**Clone and Install Dependencies**
```console
> git clone https://github.com/WesterosCraftCode/ElectronLauncher.git
> cd ElectronLauncher
> npm install
```
---
**Launch Application**
```console
> npm start
```
---
**Build Installers**
To build for your current platform.
```console
> npm run dist
```
Build for a specific platform.
| Platform | Command |
| ----------- | -------------------- |
| Windows x64 | `npm run dist:win` |
| macOS | `npm run dist:mac` |
| Linux x64 | `npm run dist:linux` |
Builds for macOS may not work on Windows/Linux and vice-versa.
---
### Visual Studio Code
All development of the launcher should be done using [Visual Studio Code][vscode].
Paste the following into `.vscode/launch.json`
```JSON
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug Main Process",
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
"windows": {
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
},
"args": ["."],
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"protocol": "inspector"
},
{
"name": "Debug Renderer Process",
"type": "chrome",
"request": "launch",
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
"windows": {
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
},
"runtimeArgs": [
"${workspaceRoot}/.",
"--remote-debugging-port=9222"
],
"webRoot": "${workspaceRoot}"
}
]
}
```
This adds two debug configurations.
#### Debug Main Process
This allows you to debug Electron's [main process][mainprocess]. You can debug scripts in the [renderer process][rendererprocess] by opening the DevTools Window.
#### Debug Renderer Process
This allows you to debug Electron's [renderer process][rendererprocess]. This requires you to install the [Debugger for Chrome][chromedebugger] extension.
Note that you **cannot** open the DevTools window while using this debug configuration. Chromium only allows one debugger, opening another will crash the program.
