gulp-run-electron

Gulp plugin for starting Electron. Requires a peer dependency of electron.

Usage

var runElectron = require("gulp-run-electron");
gulp.src("app")
    .pipe(runElectron(["--cli-argument", "--another"], {cwd: "path"}));

runElectron(args: array, opts: object)

Runs the electron executable on the src folder with the specified arguments, and passes the opts object to child_process.spawn.

Both arguments are optional. If you only want to use the opts object, pass an empty array for args.

runElectron.rerun

For gulp.watch, exits Electron and opens it again; use like so:

gulp.watch("files/*", ["files", runElectron.rerun]);
