Properties¶

appId?¶

readonly optional appId: null | string

The application id. Used as CFBundleIdentifier for MacOS and as Application User Model ID for Windows (NSIS target only, Squirrel.Windows not supported). It is strongly recommended that an explicit ID is set.

Default¶

com.electron.${name}

artifactName?¶

readonly optional artifactName: null | string

The artifact file name template. Defaults to ${productName}-${version}.${ext} (some target can have other defaults, see corresponding options).

Overrides¶

TargetSpecificOptions.artifactName

asar?¶

readonly optional asar: null | boolean | AsarOptions

Whether to package the application’s source code into an archive, using Electron’s archive format.

Node modules, that must be unpacked, will be detected automatically, you don’t need to explicitly set asarUnpack - please file an issue if this doesn’t work.

Default¶

true

asarUnpack?¶

readonly optional asarUnpack: null | string | string[]

A glob patterns relative to the app directory, which specifies which files to unpack when creating the asar archive.

compression?¶

readonly optional compression: null | CompressionLevel

The compression level. If you want to rapidly test build, store can reduce build time significantly. maximum doesn’t lead to noticeable size difference, but increase build time.

Default¶

normal

cscKeyPassword?¶

optional cscKeyPassword: null | string

cscLink?¶

optional cscLink: null | string

defaultArch?¶

readonly optional defaultArch: string

detectUpdateChannel?¶

readonly optional detectUpdateChannel: boolean

Whether to infer update channel from application version pre-release components. e.g. if version 0.12.1-alpha.1, channel will be set to alpha. Otherwise to latest.

Default¶

true

disableDefaultIgnoredFiles?¶

The executable name. Defaults to productName.

extraFiles?¶

optional extraFiles: null | string | FileSet | (string | FileSet)[]

The same as extraResources but copy into the app’s content directory (Contents for MacOS, root directory for Linux and Windows).

Inherited from¶

FilesBuildOptions.extraFiles

extraResources?¶

optional extraResources: null | string | FileSet | (string | FileSet)[]

A glob patterns relative to the project directory, when specified, copy the file or directory with matching names directly into the app’s resources directory (Contents/Resources for MacOS, resources for Linux and Windows).

Inherited from¶

FilesBuildOptions.extraResources

fileAssociations?¶

readonly optional fileAssociations: FileAssociation | FileAssociation[]

The file associations.

files?¶

optional files: null | string | FileSet | (string | FileSet)[]

A glob patterns relative to the app directory, which specifies which files to include when copying files to create the package.

Defaults to:

[
"**/*",
"!**/node_modules/*/{CHANGELOG.md,README.md,README,readme.md,readme}",
"!**/node_modules/*/{test,__tests__,tests,powered-test,example,examples}",
"!**/node_modules/*.d.ts",
"!**/node_modules/.bin",
"!**/*.{iml,o,hprof,orig,pyc,pyo,rbc,swp,csproj,sln,xproj}",
"!.editorconfig",
"!**/._*",
"!**/{.DS_Store,.git,.hg,.svn,CVS,RCS,SCCS,.gitignore,.gitattributes}",
"!**/{__pycache__,thumbs.db,.flowconfig,.idea,.vs,.nyc_output}",
"!**/{appveyor.yml,.travis.yml,circle.yml}",
"!**/{npm-debug.log,yarn.lock,.yarn-integrity,.yarn-metadata.json}"
]

Development dependencies are never copied in any case. You don’t need to ignore it explicitly. Hidden files are not ignored by default, but all files that should be ignored, are ignored by default.

Default pattern **/* is not added to your custom if some of your patterns is not ignore (i.e. not starts with !). package.json and **/node_modules/**/* (only production dependencies will be copied) is added to your custom in any case. All default ignores are added in any case — you don’t need to repeat it if you configure own patterns.

May be specified in the platform options (e.g. in the mac).

You may also specify custom source and destination directories by using FileSet objects instead of simple glob patterns.

[
{
 "from": "path/to/source",
 "to": "path/to/destination",
 "filter": ["**/*", "!foo/*.js"]
}
]

You can use file macros in the from and to fields as well. from and to can be files and you can use this to rename a file while packaging.
