About this project
Electron Fiddle is a desktop application designed to make it easy to create and experiment with small Electron projects. After opening, it presents a quick-start template; you can modify the code, select which version of Electron to run it with, and immediately try it out. Fiddles can be saved as GitHub Gists or to a local folder, and once published as a Gist, anyone can try it by entering the Gist in the address bar.
Key features:
- Explore Electron without installing dependencies: Fiddle bundles everything needed to explore the platform and includes examples for every Electron API, so you can quickly see how APIs such as BrowserView or desktopCapturer work.
- Code with types: It includes Microsoft's Monaco Editor (the editor behind Visual Studio Code) and automatically installs type definitions for the currently selected Electron version, keeping all Electron APIs available with autocompletion.
- Compile and package: Using electron-forge, Fiddle can turn an experiment into binaries for Windows, macOS, or Linux that can be shared.
- Export and continue elsewhere: Fiddle is not an IDE, but it serves as a starting point. Once a fiddle grows, it can be exported as a project with or without electron-forge and then opened in any editor.
The project is community-driven and welcomes contributions. It is released under the MIT license.
