Electron + Snowpack

[karolis-sh]

Spent the whole weekend trying to use Snowpack with Electron and came up with a hopefully intuitive abstraction
https://github.com/karolis-sh/electron-snowpack. It aims to be an electron-webpack drop-in replacement, so ease of use is the primary goal.

Would love to hear some feedback from Electron users!

@karolis-sh you need to update your examples with one that works showing how the renderer would import something from electron, at the moment I have a monorepo using your package, but quite a few of my "renderer" orientated packages fail to import electron.

It's done via preload functionality:

• set up main - https://github.com/karolis-sh/electron-snowpack/blob/main/examples/electron-natives/src/main/preload.js#L7
• use in renderer - https://github.com/karolis-sh/electron-snowpack/blob/main/examples/electron-natives/src/renderer/index.js#L26

Or via disabling web security:

• https://github.com/karolis-sh/electron-snowpack/blob/main/examples/native-node-modules/src/main/index.js#L14
• https://github.com/karolis-sh/electron-snowpack/blob/main/examples/native-node-modules/src/renderer/index.js#L1
