A collection of useful utility functions for Electron apps and modules, usable in both the main and renderer processes. It provides environment detection (platform, process type, dev mode) and helpers like ASAR path fixing.
Use cases
- detect electron environment in node scripts
- check if app runs on macos or in main process
- fix paths for asar unpacked binaries
- detect dev mode in electron main process
- share utilities between electron main and renderer processes
When to choose
- you're building an Electron app and need common environment checks and path helpers
- you want a small, well-maintained TypeScript utility library for Electron
When to avoid
- you're not using Electron
- you need Electron 36 or older (requires Electron 37+)
