Electron + Vue 3 + TypeScript starter app

Quik starters template for Electron, Vue 3 and TypeScript. So you dont have to setup a project yourself each time. Just clone the repository and run npm run electron:serve

Services

*You can delete this if you want to use you're own implementation.

A service is a class which communicates between Electrons renderer process and the main process. There is an example provided insrc/services

You can use a service inside the renderer by calling the useService('name-of-service') method. Don't forget to register it first in src/services/Services.ts.

So for example:

import { ExampleService } from './ExampleService'
import { MyNewService } from './MyNewService'

/**
 * Register your services here
 */
export  const  services  = {
    ExampleService: new ExampleService(),
    MyNewService: new MyNewService()
}

You can now call it in the renderer like so

import { useService } from '@/composables/service'

const myNewService = useService('MyNewService');

Store

**As for services, you can delete this if you want to implement you're own logic here aswell.

A store is an object with reactive properties, all properties defined inside the store are reactive by default. You can find an example in src/store/ExampleStore.ts

Creating a new store is simple, just extend the base Store. Note that you should export a new store as default new class

export default new class CarStore extends Store<CarStore> {
    public list = [/* array of objects with cars */];
    public selected?: /* Object with selected car from list */
}

To use the store import it

import CarStore from '@/store/CarStore'

Here is an example how to use the store

export default defineComponent({
    const { state } = CarStore;
    const selectCar = (car) => state.selected = car;
	
    onMounted( async () => {
        state.list = await useService('CarService').getCarsByBrand('Volkswagen')
    })
    
    return {
        state,
        selectCar
    }
})

Now in your template

<template>
    <b>Select a car</b>
    <ul v-for="car in state.cars" :key="car" @click="selectCar(car)">
        <li>{{car.brand}}</li>
        <li>{{car.color}}</li>
        <li>{{car.price}}</li>
        ...
    </ul>
    <b>The car you selected</b>
    <ul v-if="state.selected">
        <li>{{state.selected.brand}}</li>
        <li>{{state.selected.color}}</li>
        <li>{{state.selected.price}}</li>
    </ul>
</template>
