Desktop app

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

• A local-app bundled into the electron app. It has 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 options
• 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 main part right to the sidebar.

Development

# start local-app
yarn dev:local-app

# start electron app
LOCAL_APP_URL=http://localhost:3000 yarn dev

# or create an executable by running:
yarn bundle
