Be aware

🚨 By default, this template integrates Node.js in the Renderer process. If you don't need it, you just remove the option below. Because it will modify the default config of Vite.

# vite.config.ts

electron({
- renderer: {}
})

FAQ

• dependencies vs devDependencies
• Using C/C++ native addons in Electron-Renderer
• Node.js ESM packages (e.g. execa node-fetch)
