- 🚀 Fast HMR for renderer processes.
- 🔥 Hot reloading for main process and preload scripts.
- 🔌 Easy to debug in IDEs like VSCode or WebStorm.
- 🔒 Compile to v8 bytecode to protect source code.
- 🏷️ Support for TypeScript decorators.

## Usage

### Install

```sh
npm i electron-vite -D
```

### Development & Build

In a project where `electron-vite` is installed, you can use `electron-vite` binary directly with `npx electron-vite` or add the npm scripts to your `package.json` file like this:

```json
{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "electron-vite preview",
    "dev": "electron-vite dev",
    "prebuild": "electron-vite build"
  }
}
```

### Configuration

When running `electron-vite` from the command line, electron-vite will automatically try to resolve a config file named `electron.vite.config.js` inside project root. The most basic config file looks like this:

```js
// electron.vite.config.js
export default {
  main: {
    // vite config options
  },
  preload: {
    // vite config options
  },
  renderer: {
    // vite config options
  }
}
```

### Getting Started

Clone the [electron-vite-boilerplate](https://github.com/alex8088/electron-vite-boilerplate) or use the [create-electron](https://github.com/alex8088/quick-start/tree/master/packages/create-electron) tool to scaffold your project.

```bash
npm create @quick-start/electron
```
