README

electron-background

Launch an Electron application from the command line as a detached application. The command line will return immediately, and the application will not attach to your active terminal.

CLI

Start your application as you normally would except using electron-background instead of electron:

npx electron-background .

API

I can't see why you might want this, but if you do... why not:

const electronBackground = require('electron-background');

electronBackground(['.']);

// you can now exit if you want, the app will stay running
process.exit();
