#atom-shell-template

This is a small template for an Atom Shell application. Will open an application and send a message from "backend" to "frontend".

The Atom Shell framework lets you write cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. It is based on node.js and Chromium [...]

What this does

• It's a template App which will open an App window and send a sentence from the backend to the App window.
• It has a development gulp script which will:
  • restart the App every time a server-side (renderer) Javascript file is changed.
  • recompile the SCSS into CSS if a scss file is changed.
  • lint the Javascript with gulp jslint.
  • lint the SCSS with gulp scsslint.
  • lint both SCSS and Javascript with gulp lint.

Included libraries:

• Materialize CSS
• jQuery
