Desktop app

The desktop component is an electron app inside ./electron/. It uses a hybrid setup based of two main components:

A local-app bundled into the electron app with two main parts:
- A sidebar to show the server list, with the currently selected server
- A main page which is used to manage servers and to show other "local" pages like the desktop-app settings
A BrowserView (often called appView or app) showing the actual frontend of an external WorkAdventure deployment. If a server is selected the BrowserView / appView is overlaying the whole main part right to the sidebar.

Development

# start local-app in watch mode
cd local-app && yarn dev

# start electron app in watch mode
cd electron && LOCAL_APP_URL=http://localhost:3000 yarn dev

# or create an executable by running:
cd electron && yarn bundle
