Check if Electron is running in development
Useful for enabling debug features only during development.
This package must be used from the Electron main process.
$ npm install electron-is-dev
Requires Electron 3 or later.
const isDev = require('electron-is-dev');
if (isDev) {
console.log('Running in development');
} else {
console.log('Running in production');
}You can force development mode by setting the ELECTRON_IS_DEV environment variable to 1.
How is this different than app.isPackaged?
This package existed long before that property. The benefit of this package is that you can override the value using an environment variable.
