nw-vue-cli-example

NW.js + Vue-CLI 3 example

• NW.js
• Vue-CLI 3
• Vue 2
• Vue-DevTools
• Babel
• ESLint
• Jest

Running Locally for development

1. npm install
2. npm start
3. An empty window will pop up while Webpack warm ups
4. Once Webpack is running, refresh the window and you're golden

Building for distribution

1. npm run build:clean will delete your ./dist and ./dist-vue folders
2. npm run build:vue will build just your Vue app for distribution (./dist-vue)
3. npm run build:nw will build just your NW.js app (./dist)
4. npm run build is your all-in-one command. It will clean out the old dist folders and build your Vue and NW.js app

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT BUILDS!!!

They take a long time. If you do npm run build expect it to take 10-30 minutes (depending on amount of dependencies in the dist and your CPU/internet). This can be adjusted by changing the build params in the package.json. The more platforms and build types, the longer it takes.

Automated quality enforcment

1. Linting: npm run lint - Uses rules in ./eslint.json
2. Unit tests: npm run test:unit - Jest.
3. End-to-end: npm run test:e2e - Accepting PR to make tests run in NW.js. - Nightwatch.
