QUESTION
So ive watched a couple tutorials on this particular subject. This includes youtube videos as well as browsing StackOverflow. Despite this im having an issue. So i have this package.json:

Answered 2021-Aug-16 at 03:42Electron on WSL is a bit tricky. This is due to the fact you need to run an xserver utility in windows (not for too much longer: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps). And you have to install a few extra packages on your WSL instance.

QUESTION
I am writing an react-electron application and I noticed that when I used electron-builder to build it the binary was stuck when calling "spawn".
With "yarn start" the application can be executed without problems. Only with electron-builder it gets stuck.
Can you help ?
Thanks,
Update
It seems that the C++ binary included as part of the program can't be executed within electron. If I give the hardcoded full path to the binary it works but if I give the path from __dirname I get an error
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-17 at 09:56By default, Electron Builder compiles your application and packs all resources into one large archive file (think of it as a ZIP file) which can be read just fine because Electron brings support for this format known as "ASAR".
When running the built program, the code will be read from the archive. This means that __dirname
will point to a directory inside the archive. The operating system, however, cannot read from the archive. Since you did not actually include the piece of code calling child_process.spawn ()
, I can only speculate on why you get ENOTDIR
, which hints that a given path is not a directory when it was expected to be one, but I assume this is because you point to a path inside the ASAR file.
When relying on external binaries, it is a good idea to keep them outside the ASAR archive and programmatically find the path to them (which is quite complex) or by preventing Electron Builder from compiling your app into an ASAR file. However, you would also have to ask Electron Builder to include the executable in the built version of your app. This can be done by modifying your package.json

I haven't implemented anything yet. I want to make sure first if it's possible. Sorry, there isn't any code. I want to create a standalone app for Windows, which remains on top, no matter what application is open. Is it possible? If not with React-Electron, then any alternatives? Please provide me alternatives even if it works with React-Electron, please! Thank you.

QUESTION
I am writing a react-electron program. In an attempt to use modals from react-bootstrap module here. I've stumbled across a problem and after some testing figured out that it was the useState() line that was causing the issue. Whenever I include useState() the screen goes completely blank, not just the component that was using the state but the entire window of the electron app with all the parent and sibling components as well. This is not tied to using it for the modal most likely as it doesn't work with simple useState() cases either. Here is my code for this component:

QUESTION
Im creating a electron-react app and I'm using this boilerplate https://github.com/willjw3/react-electron
Im trying to fetch data from an API, Im able to get the data but im unable to update state using setState. componentDidMount is not firing as well. Am I setting something up wrong? Heres my code.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-22 at 03:55The issue is you provide an empty string as initial state. The first console log is from the render
function and the second is from this.renderTableHeader
. The problem happens when you hit this line: let header = Object.keys(this.state.Products[0])
QUESTION
I can get the correct native memory address if I use Node.js
directly such as:
ANSWER
Answered 2020-Mar-19 at 16:46I got the answer for this case. In posted situation, I used nodeIntegration: true
then I implemented the example used const remote = window.require('electron').remote
and remote.require
features. Then, AddressForArgs
(†1) via ref.HexAddress
returns electron client based address maybe ( I don't know more internals of the node-ref-napi, node-ffi-napi and electron just now ).
Therefore, I tried change to nodeIntegration: false
setting with preload
features.
