// package.json
{
...
  "agora_electron": {
      "prebuilt": true,
      "arch": "x64",
  }
...
}


// .npmrc
agora_electron_sdk_pre_built=true // defalut value is true
agora_electron_sdk_arch=x64 // only support windows:

Properties detail:

• prebuilt whether to automatically download prebuilt NodeJS C++ Addon or build locally(which need to provide development env)
• arch: If not set, the script will automatically choose the arch. only support windows
• platform darwin or win32

## Automatic platform and architecture selection
npm install electron-agora-rtc-ng

or

## or select 32 bit architecture on Windows
npm install --agora_electron_sdk_arch=ia32

## or select 64 bit architecture on Windows
npm install --agora_electron_sdk_arch=x64

🔨 Usage

import createAgoraRtcEngine from "electron-agora-rtc-ng";

const rtcEngine = createAgoraRtcEngine();
rtcEngine.initialize({ appId: "<your agora app id>" });

When using without electron-webpack

When using directly within a web electron project with custom webpack configuration, you may see errors when compiling. It's because you have not properly configured loader for node addon. A convenient way to skip the compile process is to set externals property of your webpack config to {"electron-agora-rtc-ng": "commonjs2 electron-agora-rtc-ng"}
