Electron.NET 
Build cross platform desktop apps with .NET Core and ASP.NET NET Core.
Dev Notes:
Currently there are two main projects and a "WebApp" that serves as a demo playground.
- ElectronNET.API: Defines the Electron / .NET API bridge
- ElectronNET.CLI: Responsible for the dotnet "electronize" tooling.
Both projects create their own nuget package. The resulting nuget packages are saved under "/artifacts".
Currently the packages are just build with version 1.0.0. If you change something you need to clear the nuget cache under this directory (because the version number doesn't change):
%userprofile%\.nuget\packages
The solution contains a NuGet.config which points to the artifacts directory, so we can just use the produced NuGet packages without uploading to NuGet.org.
ElectronNET.WebApp:
The WebApp now has referenced the API NuGet package and via the .csproj reference the CLI:
<ItemGroup>
<DotNetCliToolReference Include="ElectronNET.CLI" Version="*" />
</ItemGroup>
Dev Notes: Usage
Navigate to the WebApp folder and type this in a command prompt:
dotnet electronize
Dev Notes: Dev Workflow (at least for the CLI extension is this a must)
- Change something in the CLI project
- rebuild the project (a nuget package should now appear in the /artifacts directory)
- make sure there is no ElectronNET.CLI package in your %userprofile%.nuget\packages cache with the same version
- execute dotnet restore in the WebApp
- execute dotnet electronize
