A secure-by-design Electron app template with React, TypeScript, and Redux pre-configured for best-practice security.
secure-electron-template is a starter template for building Electron desktop applications with built-in security best practices. It provides a pre-configured project structure that implements Electron's official security recommendations, helping developers avoid common vulnerabilities. The template includes a modern stack with React, TypeScript, and Redux to streamline development of secure cross-platform apps.
Electron developers and teams building desktop applications who prioritize security and want a production-ready foundation without manually configuring security settings.
Developers choose this template because it enforces security by default, saving time and reducing risk compared to starting from scratch or using less secure templates. Its comprehensive implementation of Electron's security guidelines and inclusion of popular frameworks offer a balanced blend of safety and developer convenience.
The best way to build Electron apps with security in mind.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Implements all 17 of Electron's official security recommendations out-of-the-box, including context isolation and CSP, reducing common vulnerability risks.
Pre-configured with React, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, and Webpack, providing a scalable and type-safe foundation for contemporary desktop apps.
Includes Electron Builder for packaging, Mocha for testing, and webpack-dev-server for hot reloading, streamlining the development and deployment workflow.
Adds i18next for localization, secure storage, context menus, and license validation, saving time on common desktop app features without extra setup.
The README notes known problems with Yarn, requiring developers to read an issue or stick to npm, which can disrupt workflows for Yarn-based teams.
With multiple frameworks and security configurations pre-wired, the template has a steep learning curve and may overwhelm simple projects or newcomers to the stack.
Locked into specific versions of React, TypeScript, and Redux; customizing or swapping out core components requires significant configuration changes.
