This package is a demo of an astilectron app that uses the bootstrap and the bundler.

It's also the subject of this blog post.

Step 1: install the demo

Run the following commands:

$ go get -u github.com/asticode/go-astilectron-demo/...
$ rm $GOPATH/src/github.com/asticode/go-astilectron-demo/bind.go

Step 2: install the bundler

Run the following command:

$ go get -u github.com/asticode/go-astilectron-bundler/...

And don't forget to add $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

Step 3: bundle the app for your current environment

Run the following commands:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/asticode/go-astilectron-demo
$ astilectron-bundler -v

Step 4: test the app

The result is in the output/<your os>-<your arch> folder and is waiting for you to test it!

Step 5: bundle the app for more environments

To bundle the app for more environments, add an environments key to the bundler configuration (bundler.json):

"environments": [
  {"arch": "amd64", "os": "linux"},
  {"arch": "386", "os": "windows"}
]

and repeat step 3.
