Build cross-platform desktop apps with .NET 5 and ASP.NET NET Core (Razor Pages, MVC), Blazor. Electron.NET is a wrapper around a "normal" Electron application with an embedded ASP.NET Core application. Via our Electron.NET IPC bridge we can invoke Electron APIs from .NET. The CLI extensions host our toolset to build and start Electron.NET applications. There are lots of different approaches how to get an X-plat desktop app running. We thought it would be nice for .NET devs to use the ASP.NET Core environment and just embed it inside a pretty robust X-plat environment called Electron. Porting Electron to .NET is not a goal of this project, at least we don't have any clue how to do it. We just combine ASP.NET Core & Electron. The current Electron.NET CLI builds Windows/macOS/Linux binaries. Our API uses .NET 5, so our minimum base OS is the same as .NET 5.
Features
- The file watcher is included with version 8.31.1 of Electron.NET
- Electron.NET requires Node Integration to be enabled for IPC to function
- ElectronNET.Api can be added to your DI container within the Startup class
- All of the modules available in Electron will be added as Singletons
- The current Electron.NET CLI builds Windows/macOS/Linux binaries
- Our API uses .NET 5, so our minimum base OS is the same as .NET 5
