# Electron React Boilerplate

Application starter

Electron and React desktop starter with a development workflow and application packaging.

## Why we recommend it

Choose it when a React team needs a desktop application with access to local files or operating-system features. The starter connects the Electron processes, interface and packaging workflow, providing a concrete base for a desktop utility or business client.

## When to choose it

- Desktop clients for internal tools and customer-facing business applications.
- Cross-platform utilities that need a React interface and local system integrations.

## What to consider

- Electron's bundled runtime affects package size and updates. Review IPC, context isolation and the boundary between local privileges and web content.
- Signing, notarization, installers and update delivery require platform-specific work and sometimes paid developer accounts; the MIT repository does not supply these services.

## Start with this project

The checked README requires Node.js 24 or newer and npm 10 or newer. Inspect package scripts and the separate compiler-tooling notes, then follow the documented development and packaging workflow. Test native dependencies and signed builds on every target operating system.
