Cloak-Wallet

An Electron native client app for cloak, cloned from electron-react-boilerplate which based on React, Redux, React Router, Webpack, React Transform HMR for rapid application development.



Install

cd cloak-wallet
yarn

Note: If you can't use yarn, run npm install.



Run

Start the app in the dev environment. This starts the renderer process in hot-module-replacement mode and starts a webpack dev server that sends hot updates to the renderer process:

yarn dev
# or
npm run dev


Internationalization

Is done using i18next package, the configuration is stored in ./app/i18next.config.js. Every string displayed to the user should be wrapped with the translation function. Check i18next documentation for more details.

Generate locales with the following command:

$ yarn i18n

Locales are poured into the ./locales directory.



Packaging

To package apps for the local platform:

yarn package 
# or
npm run package

To package apps for all platforms:

First, refer to Multi Platform Build for dependencies.

Then,

yarn package-all
# or
npm run package-all

To package apps with options:

yarn package -- --[option]
# or
npm run package -- --[option]

To run End-to-End Test

yarn build
yarn test-e2e
# or
npm run build
npm run test-e2e

💡 You can debug your production build with devtools by simply setting the DEBUG_PROD env variable:

DEBUG_PROD=true npm run package


Application icons

Use the following gist to generate new icons from one 1024x1024 image with transparency: https://gist.github.com/iwuvjhdva/b6329f82a445cc563b143bf014f0c112

How to add modules to the project

You will need to add other modules to this boilerplate, depending on the requirements of your project. For example, you may want to add node-postgres to communicate with PostgreSQL database, or material-ui to reuse react UI components.

⚠️ Please read the following section before installing any dependencies ⚠️

Module Structure

This boilerplate uses a two package.json structure. This means, you will have two package.json files.

  1. ./package.json in the root of your project
  2. ./app/package.json inside app folder

Which package.json file to use

Rule of thumb is: all modules go into ./package.json except native modules, or modules with native dependencies or peer dependencies. Native modules, or packages with native dependencies should go into ./app/package.json.

  1. If the module is native to a platform (like node-postgres), it should be listed under dependencies in ./app/package.json
  2. If a module is imported by another module, include it in dependencies in ./package.json. See this ESLint rule. Examples of such modules are material-ui, redux-form, and moment.
  3. Otherwise, modules used for building, testing and debugging should be included in devDependencies in ./package.json.

Further Readings

See the wiki page, Module Structure — Two package.json Structure to understand what is native module, the rationale behind two package.json structure and more.

For an example app that uses this boilerplate and packages native dependencies, see erb-sqlite-example.



Static Type Checking

This project comes with Flow support out of the box! You can annotate your code with types, get Flow errors as ESLint errors, and get type errors during runtime during development. Types are completely optional.
