What is app-builder-lib?

The app-builder-lib npm package is a library designed to facilitate the building and packaging of applications, particularly Electron applications. It provides a range of tools and utilities to streamline the process of creating distributable versions of your app for different platforms.

What are app-builder-lib's main functionalities?

Building Electron Applications

This feature allows you to build Electron applications for multiple platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux) using a single configuration object. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a basic build configuration and initiate the build process.

const { build } = require('app-builder-lib');

build({
  config: {
    appId: 'com.example.app',
    productName: 'ExampleApp',
    directories: {
      output: 'dist',
      buildResources: 'resources'
    },
    files: ['**/*'],
    mac: {
      target: 'dmg'
    },
    win: {
      target: 'nsis'
    },
    linux: {
      target: 'AppImage'
    }
  }
}).then(() => {
  console.log('Build successful!');
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('Build failed:', err);
});

Code Signing

This feature provides the ability to sign your application code, which is essential for distribution on certain platforms like Windows. The code sample shows how to sign an application using a certificate file.

const { sign } = require('app-builder-lib');

sign({
  path: 'path/to/your/app',
  platform: 'win32',
  certificateFile: 'path/to/certificate.pfx',
  certificatePassword: 'your-password'
}).then(() => {
  console.log('Code signing successful!');
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('Code signing failed:', err);
});

Auto-Update Integration

This feature allows you to integrate auto-update functionality into your application by publishing updates to a specified provider. The code sample demonstrates how to publish updates to a GitHub repository.

const { publish } = require('app-builder-lib');

publish({
  provider: 'github',
  owner: 'your-github-username',
  repo: 'your-repo-name',
  token: 'your-github-token'
}).then(() => {
  console.log('Publishing successful!');
}).catch(err => {
  console.error('Publishing failed:', err);
});
