Overview
Electron is a framework for creating native applications with web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It takes care of the hard parts so you can focus on the core of your application. If you can build a website, you can build a desktop app! With Electron, creating a desktop application for your company or idea is easy!
It uses Chromium and Node.js so you can build your app with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The app is an open-source project maintained by GitHub and an active community of contributors. Compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux, Electron apps build and run on three platforms.
The API Demos app interactively demonstrates the most important features of the Electron API. See what's possible with Electron 64 bit with sample code and helpful tips for building your app.
Electron Fiddle lets you create and play with small experiments. It greets you with a quick-start template after opening – changes a few things, chooses the version of the app you want to run it with, and play around. Then, save your Fiddle either as a GitHub Gist or to a local folder. Once pushed to GitHub, anyone can quickly try your Fiddle out by just entering it in the address bar.
It supports Windows 7 and later versions – attempting to develop applications on earlier versions of Windows will not work. Microsoft provides free virtual machine images with Windows 10 and Windows 11 for developers.
Before you get started, you might want to install a code editor suited for JavaScript development.
