Electron.js is a popular framework for building cross-platform desktop applications using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Here are the steps to package your Electron.js code into a Windows executable (.exe) file:
Install the electron-packager package globally using npm:
npm install electron-packager -g
Open your Electron.js project directory in a command prompt or terminal window.
Run the electron-packager command with the appropriate options. Here's an example command to package an Electron.js project as a Windows executable:
electron-packager . my-electron-app --platform=win32 --arch=x64 --electron-version=<your electron version> --icon=app.ico
In this command, replace <your electron version> with the version of Electron.js you are using, and app.ico with the name of your app icon file.
The electron-packager command will create a new directory called my-electron-app-win32-x64 (or similar) in your project directory. This directory contains the packaged Electron.js application as a Windows executable (.exe) file.
Test the packaged application by running the .exe file on a Windows machine.
Note that this is just one example of how to package an Electron.js application as a Windows executable. There are other tools and methods available, such as electron-builder and Electron Forge, which offer more features and flexibility.
