1. 现实问题
得益于 Vite 卓越的前端开发体验，越来越多的 Electron 项目也开始应用它来构建开发。翻阅各种社区资源可以发现很多基于 Vite 搭建的 Electron 开发模板，但都存在着一些共同的问题：
- 配置相对复杂，繁琐
- 需要辅助脚本来配合编译开发
- 无法举一反三，自主选择前端框架（Vue、React 和 Svelte 等）
- 无法保护源代码
electron-vite旨在解决这些问题，为 Electron 提供更快、更精简的开发体验。
这个脚手架虽然说的很厉害，但是还是有一些不足，比如对vue项目初始化时的配置不如官方的精细。还需要自己手动配置自己喜爱的开发方式。但是瑕不掩瑜，它依然是目前我认为搭建electron配置最少的方式了。
2. 开始
# npm
npm create @quick-start/electron
# yarn
yarn create @quick-start/electron
# pnpm
pnpm create @quick-start/electron
✔ Project name: … <electron-app>
✔ Select a framework: › vue
✔ Add TypeScript? … No / Yes
✔ Add Electron updater plugin? … No / Yes
✔ Enable Electron download mirror proxy? … No / Yes
Scaffolding project in ./<electron-app>...
Done.
接下来 npm install安装就可以了
3. 开发调试
script脚本中有两个比较像npm run start和npm run dev
start先打包成静态文件，再启动electron加载本地文件，预打包前的预览dev先启动本地服务器，再启动electron加载服务页面，开发时使用
{

"vite": "^4.3.9",
"vue": "^3.3.4"
}
}
执行npm run dev 会看到
4. 打包exe
执行npm run build:win就会开始打包，打包前会从github下载必要的3个资源文件，这三个文件虽然不大，但是大概率要下载失败，所以手动点击报错信息上的网址手动下载下来。
- winCodeSign-2.6.0.7z
- nsis-3.0.4.1.7z
- nsis-resources-3.4.1.7z
下载下来以后，将他们拷贝到C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Local\electron-builder\Cache目录下， 新建两个文件夹winCodeSign和nsis，将压缩包解压到对应的目录，结构如下
- winCodeSign\winCodeSing-2.6.0
- nsis\nsis-3.0.4.1
- nsis\nsis-resources-3.4.0
然后再执行npm run build:win

打包后的exe文件就在项目的dist目录，双击后直接安装了，也没有提示安装目录等提示。
具体个性化的需求还需要自行查看官网进行调整。
