Using hot reload

The electron wrapper has the capability for hot reloads during development. You can run the app in hot reload mode using yarn dev.

While in hot reload mode, any time you save changes to a ts file, the electron app will recompile and relaunch itself. To exit hot reload mode, use Ctrl+C in the console. This will however, leave the current app window open, so be sure to close that also, as it will no longer have access to hot reload.

Translations

Translations are stored in baklava/locales and loaded using the i18next library. You can add new languages by creating a folder with the correct language code and adding the translate.json file. All keys are present in baklava/src/generated/translationKeys.ts, so it's a good idea to use it for reference.

You can sync the files and generate missing keys using yarn i18.
