This repository is a Nextron ( Next.Js + Electron ) project template in TypeScript with a Next.Js 14 App Router that includes TailwindCSS and the Shadcn/ui component library. This project is also configured so that the application can be built for both web and desktop versions with the same code.

The aim of this project is to enable anyone to quickly and easily start up a project using these technologies.

Then, install depedencies by running npm install in the project folder.

You can use npm run next:dev to start a next web application in development mode with hot reload.

You can use npm run electron:dev to start an electron desktop application in development mode with hot reload.

You can build your next web application by using npm run next:build. Then you can start it in production mode with npm run next:start.

You can build your Electron desktop application on different systems by using the commands bellow :

npm run electron:build-current        Build for current system
npm run electron:build-all            Build on all systems
npm run electron:build-win32          Build on Windows x32

npm run electron:build-mac-universal  Universal build for MacOs**

*For linux, you can change the package type ( snap, deb... ) by editing the electron-builder.yml file. You may need to install some packages ( for exemple rmp to build a rpm).

**MacOs versions can only be build using a Mac.
