Build Electron Main/Preload ESM
JSON →build-electron is a specialized command-line tool designed to simplify the use of ES Modules (ESM) in Electron's main and preload processes. It targets the persistent challenge of Electron's lack of native ESM support by providing a pre-configured Webpack 5 build system, abstracting away complex configurations. It is currently at version 1.0.5 and appears to have an infrequent release cadence, with minor fixes and updates being pushed when needed. Its key differentiator is its focus solely on the Electron main/preload code, intentionally avoiding renderer code to keep the tool simple and framework-agnostic. This allows developers to pair it with existing frontend build tools like Create React App without conflict, aiming for a plug-and-play experience until Electron natively supports ESM. It is not a boilerplate but a build utility.
