Features

• Neutralinojs framework: Allows for the creation of desktop applications with minimal resources and high performance.
• Vite: A code bundler known for its lightning-fast bundling speed and easy integration with various SPA frameworks.

Installation

To install and set up the template, follow these steps:

1. Install the necessary tools by running the command: yarn global add @neutralinojs/neu

2. Clone the repository and navigate to it: git clone https://github.com/FeedTheMEe/neutralinojs-vite-vue-ts-template.git && cd neutralinojs-vite-vue-ts-template

3. Set up the “backend” part: neu update

4. Move into the frontend folder: cd frontend

5. Set up the frontend part: yarn && yarn run build

6. Create a temporary folder in the main project folder called .tmp and inside it, create an empty auth_info.json file.

   • Note: It is important to create a symlink for auth_info.json in the src folder, as it is necessary for the backend to work. Run the following commands:

     cd src
     rm ./auth_info.json
     ln -s /home/yourusername/path/to/your/project/.tmp/auth_info.json ./auth_info.json
     

And you’re done with the setup! It’s that easy.
