Write An Interactive Desktop App

Simple Viewer App is a complete example of an interactive app that can be configured as a desktop app.

1. Write the Portable Components

See how to write an interactive app for a guide to writing the portable and reusable frontend and backend code.

2. Tailor the App

Any interactive app can be configured as a desktop app. A small additional effort is required to tailor it.

You must write an Electron-specific main to do the following:

• Configure the backend interfaces for Electron.
• Integrate with Electron IPC
• Identify the main html page.

3. Package and Deploy

You must then package the app as an Electron app.
