  Version: 0.4.0 - Initial Release Stable

  mburchard released this 2026-03-01 21:46:28 +00:00 | 15 commits to main since this release

  First public release of the Vite Electron Starter template.

  Highlights

  • Vite-powered build with HMR for main process, preload script, and renderer. No third-party Electron plugins, everything is transparent in
    vite.config.ts.
  • Multi-page support via project.config.ts with virtual module resolution and template variable injection.
  • Window management with pack mode (auto-sizing to content), flexible placement, display-awareness for multi-monitor setups, and target screen
    selection (primary, app, active).
  • Dialogue system replacing native Electron dialogues with fully styled, configurable windows. Five visual types, configurable buttons,
    lifecycle hooks, and a convenience API (showConfirm, showError, showInfo, showSuccess, showWarning).
  • Type-safe IPC with four communication patterns: request-response, fire-and-forget, broadcast, and targeted send. Fully sandboxed renderer via
    contextBridge.
  • Production-ready logging powered by bit-log with source map support, coloured console
    output, and daily rotating log files. Backend and frontend events are merged chronologically via a custom PipelineAppender.
  • Security defaults: Context Isolation, Sandbox, strict CSP enabled. Node Integration and Webview disabled.
  • CI/CD pipelines for lint, typecheck, test, and coverage on Forgejo, plus automated distribution builds (Linux AppImage, macOS DMG, Windows
    Squirrel).
  • Clean separation of core functionality and demo code. Delete the demo/ subdirectories for a minimal starter.
