Original Pull Request: https://github.com/ElectronNET/Electron.NET/pull/893

State: closed
Merged: Yes

This PR includes all the the changes that have been discussed in Taking it to the Next Level!

I haven't updated any documentation yet. This PR - for now - is focused on getting everybody a quick start without much hazzle. I have even checked in the current nuget packages, in order to get the hurdle of building and consuming out of the way.

Quick Start Instructions

Warning

IMPORTANT: You must do a fresh checkout. Either clone into a new directory or - after checking out the branch, delete ALL files in the repo except the .git folder and then do a git reset.

Then, open the solution in Visual Studio
In Solution Explorer, expand: ElectronNET.WebApp >> Dependencies >> npm (ElectronHostHook....)
Right-click and choose "Restore", wait a few moments
Rebuild the solution
Ensure ElectronNET.WebApp is the startup project
Start debugging (F5 or click 'ASP.Net (unpackaged)'

Run on WSL

Prerequisites

Node 22 LTS needs to be installed
.NET8 SDK needs to be installed
(but I think the ASP.Net core framework does the installation automatically when you start debugging)

To launch Debugging on WSL

Open the project properties for the ElectronNET.WebApp
After electron and builder version selection, find the "Target Runtime Identifier" and select linux-x64
From the dropdown button for debug target selection (with the green 'play' icon) select WSL
Click it

Creating Packages

Right-click project
Choose "Publish"
Choose one of the existing publish profiles (win-x64 or linux-x64) from the selection at the top
Hit "Publish"

Please let me know how it works for you

Enjoy!
