# Electron application example
|
|
|
|
**You can find a detailed documentation about how to build Electron apps with Next.js [here](https://leo.im/2017/electron-next)!**
|
|
|
|
## How to use
|
|
|
|
### Using `create-next-app`
|
|
|
|
Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/segmentio/create-next-app) with [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/) or [npx](https://github.com/zkat/npx#readme) to bootstrap the example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx create-next-app --example with-electron with-electron-app
|
|
# or
|
|
yarn create next-app --example with-electron with-electron-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Download manually
|
|
|
|
Download the example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl https://codeload.github.com/zeit/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/with-electron
|
|
cd with-electron
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install it and run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run start
|
|
# or
|
|
yarn
|
|
yarn start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The idea behind the example
|
|
|
|
This example show how you can use Next.js inside an Electron application to avoid a lot of configuration, use Next.js router as view and use server-render to speed up the initial render of the application.
|
|
|
|
For development it's going to run a HTTP server and let Next.js handle routing. In production it use `next export` to pre-generate HTML static files and use them in your app instead of running an HTTP server.
|
|
|
|
You can create the production app using `npm run dist`.
