electron-vite is a build tool and CLI for Electron apps based on Vite, providing pre-configured defaults for main, preload, and renderer processes. It offers fast HMR, hot reloading, multi-threading support, and source code protection via V8 bytecode compilation.

Use cases

• build an electron app with vite
• hot reload electron main process during development
• protect electron app source code with v8 bytecode
• scaffold an electron project with react or vue
• set up electron multi-threading with worker threads
• debug electron app in vscode with sourcemaps

When to choose

• you want vite-powered tooling for an electron app
• you need fast HMR and hot reloading across main, preload, and renderer
• you want to compile electron code to bytecode for source protection
• you need out-of-the-box TypeScript, Vue, React, or Svelte support in electron

When to avoid

• you are building a plain web app without electron
• you prefer electron-forge or electron-builder's own tooling
• you need a non-vite bundler like webpack
