This repo contains two configurations for setting up SvelteKit with Electron.
- The
main
branch usesmainWindow.loadFile
- The
serve
branch uses electron-serve
Both rely on prerender=true
and ssr=true
in the Svelteit layout config.
The prerender=true
option creates the HTML on build and ssr=true
tells SvelteKit which page to load. Without the ssr
option, SvelteKit will rely on location.pathname
to know which route it is loading when pointed to an arbitrary HTML file. The file protocol based route does not work well with this logic so you need the route-information to be rendered server-side.
