Electron React Boilerplate is a starter template for building scalable cross-platform desktop apps with Electron, React, React Router, Webpack, and TypeScript. It ships with hot reloading, build optimizations, and packaging scripts for production distribution.

Use cases

• start a new electron app with react and typescript
• cross-platform desktop app starter with hot reloading
• package an electron app for windows mac and linux
• set up webpack and eslint for an electron project
• scaffold a desktop app with react router
• avoid slow electron dev cycles with fast refresh

When to choose

• you want a battle-tested, widely used electron + react starting point
• you need hot module replacement and fast refresh out of the box
• you want preconfigured packaging and CI for all desktop platforms

When to avoid

• you prefer a minimal setup you configure yourself
• your stack is Vue, Svelte, or not React-based
• you need a framework with built-in auto-update and native module handling beyond the boilerplate
