Electron Discord WebApp

A Discord Web App based on the Electron engine.

It is completely indpenendent from Discord-Electron, but I used it to learn why my previous attepms of doing electron discord app have failed – it was because nodeIntegration was set to true. So thanks to the author for that comment he typed – wouldn't probably know that without checking it!

I previously forked his work, but now "I've stolen what's mine" from the code I've written in the fork, polished it a little and done this project. I've rewritten it from scratch, so it's simpler than it were before (for me) and actually removes the "variable hell" of the original project.

Contents:

Run

Go to your cloned repository and execute this as a regular user:

npm install && npm start

Install

Check the releases.

Build

I recommend building this app with the electron-builder tool. You can run it and install as nodejs module with:

npm install && npm run dist

See their docs if you wish to learn it's usage or type npm run dist --help for the built-in help.

I've also made a quick script to produce binaries for all architectures on Linux:

npm run build-linux

Package

The app uses also electron-builder to quickly produce unpackaged directory (eg. for testing purpouses). You can use it (without globally installing it on your OS) like this:

npm install && npm run pack

This will produce a ./dist/*-unpackaged directory containing the build.
