Electron Rust

Electron + Rust. Hides Rust source in the packaged Electron project. Only the dll is used.

Requires

• Yarn npm i -g yarn
• Cargo Make cargo install cargo-make

Build & Run

• yarn will download required node packages.
• cargo build will download and build the rust source.
• cargo make copy_lib will copy the library into the resources folder*
• ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild will build against the right npm packages for your Electron's version of Node.
• .\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd for Windows.
• yarn start will start the app.
• yarn run dist will package your app with Electron Builder.

You only need to run electron-rebuild when you add a new npm package. More info: https://github.com/electron/electron-rebuild

*To build Rust source and copy the library at the same time, you can use cargo make dbuild. Edit Makefile.toml and Cargo.toml to suit your platform. See the Cargo Make docs: https://sagiegurari.github.io/cargo-make/
