Electron application example
This example show how you can use Next.js inside an Electron application to avoid a lot of configuration, use Next.js router as view and use server-render to speed up the initial render of the application.
For development it's going to run a HTTP server and let Next.js handle routing. In production it use next export
to pre-generate HTML static files and use them in your app instead of running an HTTP server.
You can find a detailed documentation about how to build Electron apps with Next.js here!
How to use
Using create-next-app
Execute create-next-app
with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:
npm init next-app --example with-electron with-electron-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example with-electron with-electron-app
Download manually
