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.

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.
