electron-webpack-quick-start

A bare minimum project structure to get started developing with electron-webpack.

Thanks to the power of electron-webpack this template comes packed with...

• Use of webpack-dev-server for development
• HMR for both renderer and main processes
• Use of babel-preset-env that is automatically configured based on your electron version
• Use of electron-builder to package and build a distributable electron application

Make sure to check out electron-webpack's documentation for more details.
