Question 1

How to change the loading animation in electron-vite-template?

Accepted Answer

The template includes a customizable loading animation before startup; you can modify it by editing the Vue components or assets in the source code, typically found in the project's frontend directories.

Question 2

electron-vite-template vs electron-vite: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

electron-vite-template is a full starter with Vue 3, routing, state management, and built-in features like auto-updates, ideal for rapid app starts. electron-vite is a lower-level build tool requiring more manual setup but offering greater flexibility for custom stacks.

Question 3

Can I use React instead of Vue with this template?

Accepted Answer

No, this template is specifically designed for Vue 3, as indicated by the Vue 3.5.22 badge. Switching to React would require a complete overhaul of the frontend code and build configuration.

Question 4

How to disable auto-updates in electron-vite-template?

Accepted Answer

To disable auto-updates, you need to modify or remove the electron-updater integration in the main process files, such as by commenting out update-related code in the Electron configuration.

Question 5

Is electron-vite-template good for large production apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with TypeScript, modern tooling, and features like incremental updates, it can scale for production, but ensure the opinionated stack aligns with your team's long-term maintenance and performance needs.

Question 6

What if I don't need i18n or auto-updates?

Accepted Answer

The template still includes these features by default, which might add unnecessary complexity; you can manually remove or disable them, but this requires diving into the codebase and could break built-in functionality.
