Preact Neutralino TypeScript Starter

A boilerplate starter for building lightweight desktop applications with Preact, Neutralino and TypeScript. The template uses SCSS and React Redux.

Running the application in a development mode

// install neutralino cli globally
npm install -g @neutralinojs/neu

// inside the root folder
npm install

// inside the root folder of the repository
neu update

// install preact dependencies and do initial build
npm run setup

// run application in the development mode (after the preact project builds, you need to refresh the neutralino app)
npm run dev

// if the application does not refresh (happened for me on Mac with M1) run app parts separately
npm run dev:front

// in another terminal
npm run dev:app
