Veza Desktop Wrapper

This project is a lightweight Electron wrapper for the main Veza web application (apps/web).

It does not contain any unique UI logic. It serves as a native shell to load the frontend.

Architecture

• Wrapper Strategy: Loads the web app URL or built files.
• Entry Point: electron/main.ts
• Frontend Source: ../apps/web

Development

To develop the desktop app:

1. Start the Web App (in a separate terminal):

   cd apps/web
   npm run dev
   

2. Start the Desktop Wrapper:

   cd veza-desktop
   npm run dev:main
   

   This will launch the Electron window loading http://localhost:5173.

Building

To build the desktop application:

1. Build the Web App:

   cd apps/web
   npm run build
   

   Ensure the output dist is accessible (the wrapper expects ../apps/web/dist or similar integration in CI/CD).

2. Build the Desktop App:

   cd veza-desktop
   npm run build
   npm run dist
