Skill Details

SKILL.md

Provides comprehensive guidance for Electron EGG framework including project structure, main/renderer processes, IPC, window management, and desktop app development. Use when the user asks about Electron EGG, needs to create Electron applications with EGG, or work with Electron EGG patterns.

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to:

  • Install and set up Electron EGG in a project
  • Create Electron desktop applications
  • Use Electron EGG core features
  • Configure Electron EGG
  • Handle main process and renderer process communication
  • Use Electron EGG API methods
  • Build and package Electron applications
  • Troubleshoot Electron EGG issues

How to use this skill

This skill is organized to match the Electron EGG official documentation structure (https://www.kaka996.com/, https://www.kaka996.com/pages/987b1c/, https://www.kaka996.com/pages/a99b72/). When working with Electron EGG:

  1. Identify the topic from the user's request:

- Installation/ๅฎ‰่ฃ… โ†’ examples/guide/installation.md

- Quick Start/ๅฟซ้€Ÿๅผ€ๅง‹ โ†’ examples/guide/quick-start.md

- Features/ๅŠŸ่ƒฝ็‰นๆ€ง โ†’ examples/features/

- API/API ๆ–‡ๆกฃ โ†’ api/

  1. Load the appropriate example file from the examples/ directory:

Guide (ไฝฟ็”จๆ–‡ๆกฃ):

- examples/guide/intro.md - Introduction to Electron EGG

- examples/guide/installation.md - Installation guide

- examples/guide/quick-start.md - Quick start guide

- examples/guide/project-structure.md - Project structure

- examples/guide/configuration.md - Configuration

- examples/guide/build.md - Build and package

Features (ๅŠŸ่ƒฝ็‰นๆ€ง):

- examples/features/main-process.md - Main process

- examples/features/renderer-process.md - Renderer process

- examples/features/ipc-communication.md - IPC communication

- examples/features/window-management.md - Window management

- examples/features/menu.md - Menu

- examples/features/tray.md - System tray

- examples/features/auto-updater.md - Auto updater

- examples/features/plugin-system.md - Plugin system

  1. Follow the specific instructions in that example file for syntax, structure, and best practices

Important Notes:

- Electron EGG is based on Electron and Egg.js

- Main process and renderer process separation

- IPC communication between processes

- Each example file includes key concepts, code examples, and key points

  1. Reference API documentation in the api/ directory when needed:

- api/main-api.md - Main process API

- api/renderer-api.md - Renderer process API

- api/ipc-api.md - IPC API

- api/window-api.md - Window API

- api/config-api.md - Configuration API

API Files:

- api/main-api.md - Application class, BrowserWindow, ipcMain, app methods

- api/renderer-api.md - ipcRenderer, contextBridge, DOM APIs

- api/ipc-api.md - IPC communication methods and events

- api/window-api.md - Window creation and management

- api/config-api.md - Configuration options and environment variables

  1. Use templates from the templates/ directory:

- templates/installation.md - Installation templates

- templates/project-setup.md - Project setup templates

- templates/configuration.md - Configuration templates

1. Understanding Electron EGG

Electron EGG is a desktop application development framework based on Electron and Egg.js, providing a complete development toolchain and best practices.

Key Concepts:

  • Electron: Cross-platform desktop application framework
  • Egg.js: Node.js enterprise application framework
  • Main Process: Main application process
  • Renderer Process: UI rendering process
  • IPC: Inter-process communication
  • Plugin System: Extensible plugin architecture

2. Installation

Using npm:

```bash

npm install electron-egg

```

Using yarn:

```bash

yarn add electron-egg

```

Using pnpm:

```bash

pnpm add electron-egg

```

3. Basic Setup

```javascript

// main.js

const { Application } = require('electron-egg')

const app = new Application({

// Configuration

})

app.start()

```

Examples and Templates

This skill includes detailed examples organized to match the official documentation structure. All examples are in the examples/ directory (see mapping above).

To use examples:

  • Identify the topic from the user's request
  • Load the appropriate example file from the mapping above
  • Follow the instructions, syntax, and best practices in that file
  • Adapt the code examples to your specific use case

To use templates:

  • Reference templates in templates/ directory for common scaffolding
  • Adapt templates to your specific needs and coding style

API Reference

Detailed API documentation is available in the api/ directory, organized to match the official Electron EGG API documentation structure (https://www.kaka996.com/pages/a99b72/):

Main Process API (`api/main-api.md`)

  • Application class and methods
  • BrowserWindow creation and management
  • ipcMain IPC handling
  • Application lifecycle hooks

Renderer Process API (`api/renderer-api.md`)

  • ipcRenderer IPC communication
  • contextBridge for secure API exposure
  • DOM APIs available in renderer
  • Event handling

IPC API (`api/ipc-api.md`)

  • IPC communication methods (ipcMain, ipcRenderer)
  • Message sending and receiving
  • Async and sync IPC
  • Event handling and channels

Window API (`api/window-api.md`)

  • BrowserWindow creation and options
  • Window management methods
  • Window events
  • Window lifecycle

Configuration API (`api/config-api.md`)

  • Configuration file structure
  • App info configuration
  • Window configuration
  • Plugin configuration
  • Environment variables

To use API reference:

  1. Identify the API you need help with
  2. Load the corresponding API file from the api/ directory
  3. Find the API signature, parameters, return type, and examples
  4. Reference the linked example files for detailed usage patterns
  5. All API files include links to relevant example files in the examples/ directory

Best Practices

  1. Separate processes: Keep main process and renderer process code separate
  2. Use IPC: Use IPC for inter-process communication
  3. Handle errors: Properly handle errors in both processes
  4. Security: Follow Electron security best practices
  5. Performance: Optimize application performance
  6. Build configuration: Configure build and package properly
  7. Plugin system: Use plugin system for extensibility
